NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Virgil van Dijk has told Gareth Southgate to pick two of his Liverpool team-mates for the World Cup in Qatar despite their horrific start to the season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in disastrous form in the Premier League and have lost their last two games to bottom-club Nottingham Forest and struggling Leeds.
They have fallen to ninth in the table having only won four of their opening 12 top-flight matches in stark contrast to last season when they finished a point behind champions Manchester City and secured a domestic cup double.
Liverpool have already lost twice as many Premier League games as in the whole of the 2021-22 campaign, while only 17th-placed Southampton have conceded the first goal in more top-flight fixtures this term.
