Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has urged his side not to get carried away with the recent success and keep focus on maintaining their consistency.
The Anfield side are on a 12-match unbeaten streak in all competitions this season, with vital wins against Manchester United, Manchester City and their Merseyside rivals Everton seeing The Reds placed joint top of the table with Chelsea.
Liverpool are behind Chelsea only on goal difference in the Premiership, but Benitez is not reading too much into the title talk as of now as he is keen to see that there are no distractions.
"It's important to send the right messages," the Spaniard told the club's official website.
"We have a long, long way to go. We have to do things properly both now, in one month's time and in three months' time.
"We can have a lot of confidence in ourselves but we must keep our feet on the ground.
"We (the squad) were talking about this before, although we can enjoy being at the top of the table.
"But the players know we must keep going until the end. You can't win a title now - you can only win it at the end of the season."
