Liverpool vice-captain Jordan Henderson accepts there is no guarantee he will take over the armband when Steven Gerrard leaves at the end of the season
The England midfielder was appointed Gerrard's deputy at the beginning of the season but he is taking for nothing for granted.
Manager Brendan Rodgers said last month it was "not necessarily the case" Henderson would automatically become captain next season and the 24-year-old is keeping his feet on the ground.
"Next season we'll see what happens because it might not be me succeeding Stevie, it might be someone else," he told the official Liverpool FC magazine.
"There are a lot of strong leaders in the dressing room. There are a lot of big characters in the team - down to earth, humble people.
"Mama (Sakho), Emre (Can) and Skrts (Martin Skrtel) have developed a strong collective understanding. You can see their passion, they're desperate to win, they give everything.
"Studge (Daniel Sturridge) is a big character. Lucas (Leiva) is too. I can only do the current job the best I can."
