Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk believes much of the success they have had this season is down to the players’ willingness to “go to war” for each other.

While there have not been many difficult moments so far in a season which has brought 18 wins in 20 matches, the Netherlands international thinks the mentality within the squad has played a key part.
