Virgil van Dijk has been asked about how Liverpool is shaping up under Arne Slot. The defender also spoke about the various claims that the Reds are the best team in the world.

A share of the spoils away to a Forest side occupying third place in the Premier League and who’d been on a run of seven wins in a row across all competitions is no disgrace, but it speaks to the mentality of Van Dijk and this Liverpool team that they weren’t content with taking a point from the City Ground.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says the team are "very calm" after an excellent start to the season. The Reds are six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand and wrapped up qualification to the knockout stage of the Champions League with a game to spare after beating Lille on Tuesday.

A seventh successive Champions League victory left Liverpool needing a point at most from their final game to guarantee top spot in the table.
