Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren believes he has overcome troubles both on and off the pitch this season to stake a claim to be Virgil van Dijk's long-term partner.

The Croatia international endured a torrid first half of the season with his lowest on-field moment coming when he was hauled off after just 31 minutes in October's 4-1 defeat to Tottenham.
