Virgil van Dijk sends brutal message to Manchester City over Premier League title

Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk claims Manchester City have had the "luck" in the Premier League title race. City have ploughed relentlessly on and have put considerable distance between themselves and the chasing pack, while the Reds have dropped points recently. Speaking about the festive period, Van Dijk said fortune has gone against the Reds and in favour of the defending champions.

"City got through the month of December particularly well," he said. "They had few injuries and few corona cases and that helps enormously.   "A small example is that me, Fabinho and Thiago all tested positive for covid at the same time, three players who are important to the team.   "A big club like Liverpool still has good quality players, but the rhythm and dynamics of the team changes at such a time. There are still so many games to play - but you also need a bit of luck at this stage."
