Liverpool players might relive the celebrations of 2020, with Van Dijk teasing possible title party preparations.
Virgil van Dijk has suggested he might gather the Liverpool squad to watch Arsenal’s upcoming clash with Crystal Palace together, as it could be the night the Reds are crowned Premier League champions.
The two London sides face off on Wednesday, and if Arsenal lose, Liverpool would clinch the title without kicking another ball. Any other outcome means they’ll have the chance to wrap it up themselves at Anfield on Sunday against Tottenham.
Back in 2020, Liverpool’s title win was confirmed when Manchester City lost to Chelsea, with Klopp’s squad watching on together at Formby Hall—celebrating as a group despite COVID restrictions. Van Dijk, who was part of those scenes, hinted at a similar gathering this week. When asked about potential plans, he said (via the Daily Express):
> “I don’t know, could be. To be honest I expect Arsenal to win at home but yeah, if it doesn’t happen then I think it would be nice to be together… It doesn’t really matter to me [where the title is won]. I want to be champions of England and let the dream come true. I would love to lift the cup with the club I love so much.”
While Arsenal’s recent 4-0 win over Ipswich delayed Liverpool’s title celebrations, Wednesday now presents the next chance for it to be confirmed. Many fans, however, are hoping the team gets the chance to seal it themselves at a packed and passionate Anfield.
Either way, Van Dijk and his teammates are on the brink of a monumental achievement, and the mood among supporters shows just how special this season has been—talks have shifted from “if” to “how” the title will be secured.
