Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes Liverpool s mindset has been key to their Premier League dominance so far this season.
Jurgen Klopp s men are eight points clear at the top through 14 games, having won 13 and drawn one.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 26, said Liverpool s belief made everything else easier, as they prepare for the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday.
The mindset that I m in when we go into a game is that I m going into it with the mindset that we re going to win. I think that s how we all feel, the midfielder told UK media, via The Telegraph.
We re going into the games expecting ourselves to win and anything else we re disappointed.

Rodriguez has rarely been viewed as a success story ever since his phenomenal stint in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, with his Real tenure never really living up to the expectations put in front of him.<…
