Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, aiming for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since December. The Reds ended a winless league run last Saturday with a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.
Manager Arne Slot hinted that captain Virgil van Dijk could extend his stay beyond next summer. 'We know Virgil won't play for 10 years, but he has a year left, maybe longer at us,' Slot said on Thursday. The Dutch defender's contract expires at the end of the 2026-27 season.
However, former Ballon d'Or winner Ruud Gullit has criticised Van Dijk's form this season. 'He has made a lot of mistakes, with strange errors like the handball against PSV and the miskick at Bournemouth,' Gullit told Gambling Insider. 'These are things I've never seen from him before.'
