Van Dijk: Skipper Virgil van Dijk feels nothing less than full focus and commitment will be enough for Liverpool to beat Fulham. The Reds host Marco Silva’s team at Anfield on Saturday looking to consolidate their position as Premier League leaders.

Arne Slot’s side dropped points in their last top-flight outing, a 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, and Van Dijk has no doubt that this afternoon’s opponents will also provide a stern test.

“After a couple of games away from home, plus the cancellation of last weekend’s Merseyside derby, we are looking forward to returning to Anfield this weekend. We know how important this time of year is. It is a really intense period, where each and every game requires maximum focus and maximum attention.
