Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that there is "absolutely no pressure" on his side at this stage of the Premier League season.
The Reds sit top of the table after 11 games courtesy of their 6-1 rout of Watford this afternoon, a result which also saw them climb to the top of the goalscoring charts.
Liverpool's title rivals Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City all dropped points over the weekend, but Klopp stressed the importance of his side staying "cool".
"If somebody thinks being one point ahead after 11 match days is a big sign for the rest of the season then I can't help this person. We stay cool. It's the best position I can imagine but nothing else has happened. We knew that Arsenal drew against Tottenham but we didn't speak one word about the possibility of being top of the table," he told reporters.
"There's no pressure after 11 match days, absolutely no pressure. We saw Chelsea yesterday, quite impressive, Man City playing Barcelona, quite impressive. Man United - never write them off, Tottenham (are a) good side. There's a lot of really good teams around.
"You can play a really good season and you could be fifth or sixth and nobody would be really happy. Stay cool, take the things like they are, play your best, win games, that's the only thing we can do. When I came here I asked for time and patience and belief, and after 11 match days everyone's asking for guarantees and they are not there. The only thing we have is a pretty good football team."
Liverpool are top of the table for the first time since their title near miss in 2014.
