Gary Neville warned Liverpool not to be complacent in the Premier League race.
Jurgen Klopp's team is five points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table after missing out on a seven-point lead by drawing home to Leicester on Wednesday after the Blues defeat at Newcastle on Tuesday.
And former United captain Neville says the nerves will inevitably invade the Liverpool team as the season draws closer.
"If a Liverpool supporter thinks he's just going to win the next 14 games, it just will not be like that," Neville said.
"They will not play well every game because there will be tension and tension as you get closer."
Liverpool has not won the title since 1990. In 2009 and 2014, he almost missed opportunities.
The Anfield team has lost only once this season to City, but Neville thinks it's too early for Liverpool to think of breaking the title.
"I do not think it's time to think about the title," he said. "Forget the next month, then March and April are the time when, if you make mistakes, it's hard to come back.
"Even with the defeat of City in Newcastle, they did not go out. It's not the end of the world if you lose points now, you have time to catch up, but when the month of February is over and we get closer to March, we enter the race. "
