Xabi Alonso is refusing to get carried away by Liverpool's impressive start to the season and says he is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
Rafa Benitez's men have yet to taste defeat this season and could go top of the league with victory at Manchester City on Sunday should other results go their way.
Liverpool cruised to a 3-1 midweek victory over PSV in the Champions League at Anfield, while they have also beaten Manchester United and Everton in recent weeks.
And although Alonso reckons the Reds can launch a title challenge, he is remaining cautious ahead of the clash against Mark Hughes' City side.
"With the team we have got and the spirit of the fans, it could be the right time to win things," he told the Daily Express.
"But I prefer not to say it very loudly. We have to be cautious about making any predictions at this stage of the season. We know there is pressure because we haven't won anything for two years - but we impose that pressure on ourselves.
"We are responsible for the successes and failures of this club and we are more than happy to take that responsibility."
