Alisson is remaining grounded as Liverpool look to hold off Manchester City in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
The Reds’ goalkeeper is the latest to underline his side’s ‘one game at a time’ mentality by labelling Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions as current frontrunners.
Liverpool’s lead at the top heading into Wednesday’s clash with Leicester could be at just one point if City can beat Newcastle on Tuesday evening.
Discussing the title race, Alisson said: “Liverpool now have the quality to fight for the biggest trophies, there is no doubt about it,” per Goal.
“City proved their strength by winning the league comfortably last year. They have also invested for this season, so their team is even better now. They are very tough opponents and the big favourites.”
“However, we also have our ambition to win the league this season and I believe in our talent to go all the way. But we have to think step by step and make sure we keep our feet on the ground.”
