Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists their clash with Manchester City tonight is no early title decider.
Rodgers is not going to be reading too deeply into the outcome.
"Whatever time this game comes, it's always very important - and for us, so early on, it's even more significant," Rodgers said.
"But I don't think it will define everything. It's over the course of the 38 games.
"We did reasonably well in the big games last season, but it's over the course of the 38, and that's something I'll always look at.
"It's early in the season and we started with a great win, and now to go and perform and hopefully get the result is what the aim will be."
