Van Dijk names Liverpool’s two toughest opponents in title race

Liverpool’s star defender Virgil Van-Dijk on Wednesday has identified Manchester City and Arsenal as their fiercest competitors in the ongoing Premier League title race.

The Reds currently hold the top spot, with City and Arsenal closely following. Chasing Pep Guardiola’s team is familiar territory for Liverpool, who clinched the title in 2020 but missed it twice despite surpassing 90 points.

Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, emerged as a major contender last season, creating a three-way race before Liverpool’s form dipped.

Reflecting on his toughest rivals, Van Dijk named City and Arsenal, emphasizing the challenge of facing them, where even a brief lapse can lead to an immediate penalty.
