Van Dijk issues Liverpool challenge

Virgil van Dijk has challenged Liverpool to out-work the teams that stand between the Reds and a record-equalling 20th English title.

Arne Slot's side had to dig deep to beat Everton 1-0 in a tetchy Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday.

The victory moved Liverpool 12 points clear of second-placed Arsenal with just eight matches left.

After being eliminated from the Champions League last 16 by Paris Saint-Germain and losing the League Cup final to Newcastle in their previ-ous two games, Liverpool settled their nerves thanks to Diogo Jota's winner against Everton. Now they head to Fulham aiming to take another step in their march to a first title since 2020.
