Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool have experience of competing for the Premier League title many times, so they are not rushing to dream of a position after only playing 16 games. They will decide until May 2025.
Liverpool have 39 points, 4 points more than second place Chelsea but still have one more game in hand, so all bookmakers have them as the #1 favorites to win the 2024-25 English Premier League, rate 8/11 (bet 11, pay 8, excluding capital)
However, the 33-year-old captain, who also won the league in 2020, is not complacent about what has happened, saying that the competition is not even halfway through and all that needs to be done is to stay true to yourself and maintain consistency.
“I think I’ve answered the question of the Premier League title many times: We can’t think about it until May,” he told the official website.
“I would love to be here by May, but we’ve seen a lot about how difficult it is – no team is dreaming about the title right now, not even Man City.”
“We only care about the UFABET game in front of us, that’s all.”
“I don’t want to get drag into any discussion about the potential to win two, three or four trophies.”
“Overall, just keep playing, just look at the game in front of you. Right now, we have beaten Spurs (won 6-3) – another tough opponent, but the result is a good game.”
“Next up is Leicester (at Anfield on Boxing Day). That’s the only thing that influences our thinking.”
