Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says the team has no choice but to defeat Newcastle in today’s Premier League clash.
Recall that Liverpool finished 2023 top of the league on 42 points followed by Aston Villa on second place on 42 points.
However, in a chat with the club’s official website, the Dutch international stated that Reds clash against Newcastle is a must-win.
“We also have something to put right because it has been a couple of games since we won at home in the Premier League. There was not too much wrong with our performances against Manchester United and Arsenal – and I would argue that there was actually a lot right with them – but the sooner we can get back to winning ways here the better.

“Our home record is something to be proud of and has been for as long as I have been here, with the exception of the period when we played without fans. The standards we have set are very, very high but, again, that creates a responsibility that we have to live up to.
“In simple terms this means winning as many games as possible, especially when we are playing at Anfield.
“As things stand, we have a lot to look forward to as players and supporters, but at the same time we know that the hard work is only just beginning so let’s see what we can do together and what the New Year might bring.
