Sadio Mane has warned Premier League title rivals Manchester City that Liverpool are yet to hit top form.
Jurgen Klopp s side are four points clear of champions City having only lost once in the Premier League this season at the Etihad Stadium on January 3.
In theory, Liverpool also have a clearer run to the title as they are out of both domestic cups, whereas City are in the FA Cup fifth round and have booked an EFL Cup final clash with Chelsea.
And Mane feels Liverpool, who are at home to Leicester City on Wednesday, can still get even better.
We heard what some of the media were saying about us not starting off by playing as fast and exciting as last year, and we felt we weren t at our best ourselves at times, he told World Soccer.
The results have been there but we know we could have done more with some of our performances. We are very competitive but know there is even more to come, for sure. In many ways, the team is stronger and we have produced some very mature performances.
Hopefully we will hit our top form when it matters most.
