Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk spoke on the eve of the English Premier League match with Burnley. His words are quoted by the official website of the Reds.

“We want to take another step forward against a team that is fighting for its place in the Premier League. We know how difficult this match will be.

We had already beaten them earlier in the season, but then we only got the win thanks to a very late penalty. They defended very well that day and made us work on the edge. We expect a similar test on Saturday.

The main thing for us is to do the right thing from the first to the last minute. It’s about working hard, defending as a team, being patient, making the right decisions and using our quality to create chances. We play at home, and that always imposes certain expectations.

I can assure you that we will do everything possible to put the fans in a good mood,” van Dijk said.

The match between Liverpool and Burnley will take place today at 17:00 Kyiv time.
