Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they're a title contender ahead of today's clash with Liverpool.
The Reds host Chelsea later today at Anfield.
"Is it possible for us to win the title? Nobody knows," said Klopp. "But we will give it a proper try.
"We know this league, and not only since this transfer window, is the strongest league in the world.
"And being ambitious in this league means you have to be ready to get some knocks, get some punches here and there, and be ready to get up and go again.
"With the quality we have, if we can do that, then the only plan is always to beat the best teams in the world whoever that is.
"We never thought about being the best team in the world. In this moment, nobody thinks we are the best in the world — good! — but we still want to beat the best teams and Chelsea won the Champions League. So let's give it a try."
