Birthday boy Caoimhin Kelleher knows Liverpool need to keep winning 

“We’re not going to take anything for granted. I know maybe the outside is already making some noise about us being so far ahead in the league now, but we don’t really think about that."

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has told his team-mates they cannot afford to ease off after opening up a gap at the top of the Premier League.

The Reds know that, regardless of their result at Southampton on Sunday, they will end the weekend at the top of the standings after a superb start from new manager Arne Slot, who has still only tasted defeat once since taking over in the summer.
