Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane has insisted that his side's packed festive schedule "won't be a problem" as the players are used to it by now.

The Reds have already played four matches this month and after Christmas will face a run of three games in the space of just six days either side of the New Year.

However, following back-to-back wins and clean sheets against Middlesbrough and Everton, Mane sees no reason why his side cannot maintain their form during that period and beyond.

"It's [always] important to score and not concede and that's what we did in the last two games. We've got to keep going that way - why not until the end of the season?" he told reporters.

"It's going to be a hard period because the games are so close, but I think everybody is used to it. It won't be easy, but we are going to do it because we are all professionals, it won't be a problem for us."

Mane has just three league games left before he will leave for the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal.
