Virgil van Dijk dismisses title claim after Liverpool-Arsenal draw - "They have no clue"

But Van Dik was dismissive of the incident, saying: “It is a physical game, these things happen. If you watch the battle we had during the game, it goes both ways.” Although Arsenal finished with three of their first-choice back four missing through injury or suspension, Van Dijk aimed a subtle dig at the narrative that the Gunners’ horizons were limited because of their absentees.

He sniffed: “We keep speaking about them missing players, and big players being out, but that is part of football and we will also miss certain players.”
