Liverpool glovesman Pepe Reina believes his side can maintain their early season momentum if they carry on winning at home, and stay consistent away.
Liverpool stopper Pepe Reina kept another clean sheet on Wednesday night as the Reds narrowly beat visiting Pompey by a goal to nil.
Reina believes the key to keeping distance between themselves and the chasing pack is to win at home, and stay consistent when on the road.
"This was a hugely important three points for us because we have to keep on winning," Reina is quoted by the club's official website as saying.
"Once you are at the top of the table you have to do everything to defend that position and that means winning every game you can.
"We cannot afford to drop any points at home. It is important we keep winning at home and also be consistent away," he declared.
"We can only go step by step and the next game for us is Tottenham on Saturday, which is going to be tough. They had a great result against Arsenal on Wednesday night, so we know it will be difficult.
"But let's see if we can beat them and then after that we will think about qualifying from the Champions League group stages and hopefully being able to concentrate even more on the Premier League," the 26-year said.
"This is what we look for - to defend properly and not concede too many chances.
"Every time I go onto the pitch I am looking for a quiet game because it is better for me and better for the team if I am less busy."
