Andrew Robertson says Liverpool's charge towards Premier League invincibility is fuelled by the sacrifices they make off the pitch.
The Reds are 14 points clear at the top of the table after Roberto Firmino's first half-strike secured a 1-0 win at Tottenham, extending their unbeaten record to 38 league games.
In amassing an astonishing 61 points from a possible 63 over the first 21 matches of the campaign, Liverpool have now made the best ever start to a season in any of Europe's top five leagues.
"We'll let you say that. We won't say that because look at the run both us and Man City went on last season," Robertson said when asked whether there was a way his side could not win the league.
"What's to stop Man City doing that again? Being unbeaten in every single game. This league is so hard.
"Maybe sometimes we've made it look easy, but believe me it's not – it's so hard to perform against every team that wants to beat you.
"The longer the run goes on, the more everyone wants to beat you – 'we beat Liverpool' or whatever.
"For us, they are irrelevant. Yes, if we break records on the way, fine, great, but we will look at that (only) if we get a trophy," he said.
"Because last season we broke records in terms of clean sheets and ended up empty-handed in the Premier League.
"Records don't mean anything unless they get you the end goal, hopefully this season it will."
