Liverpool are widely fancied to win the league title for the first time since 1990.
The Merseyside outfit fell agonisingly short of being crowned Premier League champions in 2014.
And Lovren is hoping history doesn’t repeat itself.
Dejan Lovren hopes Liverpool aren't their own worst enemy in the title race
When asked about the title race, he said: “I think we have shown this year that we can play against the big teams, we are not scared.
“It’s just....I think the biggest opponent for us is us.
“If you want to be in the top four at the end of the season or be champion, you need to win the smaller games like today and even the next game against Watford.
“And then we will see against the big teams.”
Liverpool are next up in action against Watford at Anfield on Sunday (2:15pm).
