Mane: We do not put pressure on ourselves

The Liverpool striker badured his team to maintain a four-point lead at the top of the standings thanks to a well-taken shot against Crystal Palace during a very tough 4 to 3 win at Anfield at the last exit.

According to Jürgen Klopp, this victory – the 19th of the 23 Premier League matches of the league's 23s – was achieved thanks to the fighting spirit of the players.

And Mane revealed that the professional mentality in the locker room allowed Liverpool to block any outside influence and focus on his priority.

"We have experience now," said No. 10 at Liverpoolfc.com.

"Of course, we are confident if we win – but not too much, we know what can happen, we are still professional footballers and we will always try to play match by match.

"The season is long and we have a lot of games. Pressuring for ourselves does not help. Why not just try to win matches until the end of the season? "

The next opportunity for Liverpool to add three points to his total – with a current total of 60, is already a club record at this stage of the campaign – will be on January 30

An 11-day gap between Palace's victory and Leicester City's visit will help Klopp's men recover from a hectic list of matches.

And for the group of injured players, the opportunity to recover is timely, according to Mane, given the value of the depth during the run-in.

"It is good for us to take a few days off and recover some injured, because there is much to do," added the Senegalese international.

"We always have a strong team. [And] the other players will do their best for the team. "
