"There are still a lot of games to play and a lot of opportunities to go out and show why we are Liverpool and why we are the reigning champions. Any competition is important, but definitely the FA Cup is important. Barnsley will come to us on Monday, and I am looking forward to that game. They will try everything in order to get through, and we have to be ready for a big fight and the chances to finish them off."
"I am really looking forward to the FA Cup, and the Champions League too."
Virgil van Dijk cautions Liverpool to be wary of Barnsley ahead of the FA Cup third-round match on Monday. Liverpool have drawn three consecutive matches, most recently holding league leaders Arsenal to a goalless draw, and sit 14 points behind Arsenal in the table. Manager Arne Slot has shifted focus toward other trophies as the title race appears unlikely. Liverpool have advanced from 13 of their last 14 third-round ties, with Opta giving them a 93.3% chance of victory over Barnsley. Van Dijk expresses enthusiasm for both the FA Cup and the Champions League and expects a tough contest.
