Dejan Lovren: 'Liverpool can handle the pressure'

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren insists that his side will have no trouble defending his side's lead at the top of the table.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has insisted that he will be able to handle the pressure of being top of the league.

The Reds currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League after 19 games of the season, with champions Manchester City seven points behind.

Lovren has previously suggested that the current Liverpool crop have the ability to emulate Arsenal's Invincibles, and he insists that his club suffer no pressure under Jurgen Klopp.

"There's no pressure, to be honest," Lovren told reporters.

"In the previous years, yes, but now when you look in the dressing room, when you go into Melwood in the morning, everybody is happy, nobody talks about anything else than the next game.

"We can't talk about something that will happen in five/six months, we go game by game and we will see where we finish."

Liverpool host Arsenal on Saturday knowing that victory would leave them at least six points clear at the top of the table going into 2019.
