Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum insists focus is not solely on opening a gap on Manchester City, and that Premier League title talk is premature

Liverpool are not focusing on putting a gap between themselves and rivals Manchester City, but looking only to the game ahead, says Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman has been instrumental for Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten side this season, and played a starring role in the recent 3-1 win over Manchester United at Anfield.

Speaking ahead of the Reds' trip to Wolves on Friday night, live on Sky Sports, Wijnaldum admitted his side are not keeping a watchful eye on City but instead simply taking care of themselves.

"I think it's an opportunity to win another game, that's how we look at it.

"Every game this season, we're not really busy with putting a gap between us and City.

"We're not really thinking about winning the league right now because that's too far ahead, you have to play too many games to think about that, so we just trying to think about the first game that we look at and that's Wolves now.

"We have to manage to win that one also and then we will look further."
