Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted to ESPN FC that his club is not talking about winning the title just yet but he is confident there is much more to come from his side.

Liverpool are level on points with Manchester City and Chelsea at the top of the Premier League after concluding a run of seven matches within the last 23 days. Alexander-Arnold believes Liverpool are yet to reach the levels of performances they know they can, but feels their strong start is a clear sign of progress.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement,” the 20-year-old said. “We’ve got a lot more to give and a lot more to improve on. We know that we’re not a perfect team. That’s something we want to achieve to be as close to perfection as possible. That’s what we’re working towards everyday. We want to win as many games as possible. It doesn’t matter how we do it, we’re not fussed as long as we get the three points.

“That’s something we’ve shown this season even when we haven’t been at our best, we’re still grinding out results and getting results on the board. That’s something that’s important to us and important for any team that wants to be successful.”
