Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has tempered expectations around the club this season.

The Dutch midfielder does not want fans to get carried away with talk of winning the Premier League.

While it is only October, the Reds have an eight point lead and have not dropped a single point in their domestic campaign. But Wijnaldum knows that things can change very quickly.

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

"I'm sure the manager will keep us with our feet on the ground 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."
