Virgil van Dijk will reinforce to the dressing room there is no room for complacency after rejecting suggestions Liverpool’s title quest was “almost there”.

A 2-0 win over Newcastle, coupled with Arsenal’s draw at Nottingham Forest, opened up a 13-point lead at the top and Opta now rate their chances of winning a first Premier League in five years at 98.7 per cent.
