Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur will face Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool on May 4th at Anfield.
That game will have a significant impact on both the Premier League championship race and who qualifies for Champions League football.
There will be many exciting confrontations on the pitch, with Dejan Kulusevski expressing his respect for Virgil van Dijk.
The Tottenham winger remarked that the Liverpool captain is the toughest defender he has faced and conceded that players like that may be ‘annoying’, according to Premier League Productions (18/03/24 at 5:40 pm).
Following the problems of the previous season, many believe Virgil van Dijk has returned to his greatest form and is beginning to play the football that helped him win the Premier League title and the European Cup.
Yes, the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United will still hurt because it was so devastating.
But it doesn’t change the fact that Virgil van Dijk is one of the best players in the world, and Tottenham’s left-footed Swede praised the £220k-per-week star.
Toughest Defender
“Van Dijk,” Kulusevski said when asked who the toughest defender he has faced was.
“They’re fast players. You know when someone is extremely fast and can be unpleasant.
Liverpool and Tottenham had a bad weekend
After the weekend’s debacle, Liverpool and Spurs will most likely benefit from this international break.
Despite leading 2-1 at halftime and 3-2 in extra time, the Reds were eliminated from the FA Cup by their fiercest rivals.
Then Tottenham effectively summarised themselves by defeating Aston Villa last weekend and then being trounced by Fulham.
Overall, it was a weekend to forget whether you are a Liverpool or Tottenham fan.
