Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes that other teams will have a say in the Premier League title race.
Most are expecting the Reds to serve as the sole challenger to Manchester City, who won the last two league titles.
But Henderson believes that other sides will step up their game and enter the conversation.
"Everyone will talk about Liverpool and City because they won the league and were so good and we won the Champions League," Henderson said to reporters.
"It is easy to do that. You have to look at the other teams. They are going to improve. There are more teams than us and City who will be competing.
"But you have to respect them so much for winning the Premier League back-to-back. That is so difficult. They keep raising the bar and keep improving with the squad they have.
"So, we need to be doing the same and I think we will. The players are hungry. They want more. They want to keep working hard and the manager will make sure of that.
"We have great senior players in the team. We have to focus on what is ahead and keep challenging for all the trophies."
