Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum insists they're not getting carried away by title talk.

The season is only eight games old but already Jurgen Klopp's men hold a significant eight-point lead over last season's champions Manchester City.

"We don't want to think we are already champions. That would be a really wrong thing to do," Wijnaldum told Sky Sports.

"I'm sure the manager will keep us grounded and say that we just have to think about ourselves, and try to play good and try to give 100 per cent every week.

"We just have to do what we did before and look at ourselves and not look too much to other teams because we don't have influence on other teams - we can't control the performance of other teams.

"We just have to make sure we are ready for the games that are to come and to make sure we are ready and try to have good results because we know that it can change quickly.

"Then at the end of the season we will see where we stand."
