Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has warned the rest of the Premier League that confidence in their camp is currently sky high.

The Reds were 2-1 winners over title rivals Manchester United last weekend, before dispatching Marseille by the same scoreline in Tuesday's Champions League opener.

"The team was very confident after Saturday. We don't want to get carried away and start setting targets about winning things, we just want to stay on this run, work hard, and I'm sure the results will come," he told the club's official website.

"Winning brings confidence and I could sense we were going to get another positive result before the match with Marseille.

"The mentality in the changing room is very positive at the moment."

Meanwhile, Gerrard believes the squad assembled by manager Rafael Benitez this summer is stronger than last season's which reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

He added: "I certainly feel we are stronger than last year. It was disappointing to lose in the semi-final then and we want to go all the way this time, but it's important not to get carried away.

"We know we're a fantastic side in Europe and it's always difficult away from home. We didn't play well in the second half but you could see the character and togetherness.

"We just don't like getting beaten."
