Gary Neville has admitted he is 'fascinated' by the prospect of Virgil van Dijk battling Erling Haaland this weekend.
Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield in a mouthwatering clash on Sunday, with the Reds looking to kickstart their season and close a near-insurmountable 13-point gap on their visitors. Pep Guardiola's side have been impeccable all season, with star-striker Erling Haaland bagging 15 goals in nine league appearances, including back-to-back home hat-tricks.
The Norwegian has at times been unplayable, using a combination of attacking intelligence and all out brute power to dominate opposition defenders. If there is any centre-back that can compete physically, however, it will be Liverpool's van Dijk, and while the Dutch giant is notably out of form this season, former Manchester United captain Neville believes their battle on Sunday will be one for the ages.
