Virgil van Dijk has warned Liverpool’s rivals they still have room for improvement.
Arne Slot’s side are currently riding high as leaders of both the Premier League and Champions League after thrashing Bayer Leverkusen in the latter on Tuesday.
Under their new head coach, the Reds have racked up a remarkable 14 wins from 16 games in all competitions and tasted defeat just once in that early-season run.
But Van Dijk insists that the collective high standards at Anfield means that they are not planning to rest on their laurels despite that emphatic vein of recent form.
He said: “We are happy but we want to be happy at the end of the season.
“That is all about working each day and getting better and working on things that we have to improve because there are still so many things to improve.
“We all know that as players and the manager is very keen to show that too.
“I have said it many times, we’re still a work in progress. The manager wants us to defend in a certain way and we try to do that and solve things on the pitch as best we can.
“It doesn’t always go perfect as you’ve obviously seen in so many games but the good thing is that we make sure we are willing to defend.
“So when they beat the press we are back to not concede any chances or crosses or whatever.
“There are so many moments and things in games that we are doing well and I think so far, so good, in terms of results but we all realise as well that we can improve.
“We are where we are now and still being able to improve is only a positive thing.”
