Of course, a lot of their performances and results were down to the form that Mohamed Salah found himself in last season, and although he’s had a bit of a slower start this term, it’s clear that he’s still one of the best attackers in the top flight.

Not only is their attack among the best in the league, but with the arrivals of players such as Milos Kerkez, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie Frimpong, the Reds’ backline is also rather solid.

And, although the Anfield outfit may have already conceded a few goals this term, that doesn’t mean that Van Dijk has been below par, because, on the face of things, he’s been one of Liverpool’s best players again.

And, while speaking to BBC 5 Live Sport, Aston Villa striker Morgan Rogers was naming his ultimate five-a-side team, which happened to include some praise for the Liverpool captain.

“Van Dijk and I’ll go, Kyle Walker [in defence],” Rogers said.

“[Walker is probably the best 1v1 defender that I’ve seen, I think [he’s] just so hard to get past.”

Rogers was then asked whether he thought the same about Van Dijk.

“Yeah I think, aura as well,” he said.

“Just being there, I think the feeling of him just scares people.”

Rogers then filled the other positions of his all-time Premier League five-a-side squad with Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Last season, Liverpool managed to extend the contract of Van Dijk for another two years.

At the moment, it’s unclear whether another extension to his stay will be negotiated, but with the way he’s performed this season, it would be silly for Liverpool not to at least think about it.
