The form of Liverpool's 'most important player', Virgil van Dijk, can help the Reds get back into the Premier League top four, according to Garth Crooks.
The BBC pundit has named both the Dutch centre-back and his defensive team-mate Andy Robertson in his Premier League Team of the Week after Jurgen Klopp's side resumed their league campaign with a 3-1 away win at Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
Liverpool have now won their last three Premier League matches as they look to recover from an indifferent start to the season that has all but extinguished their title hopes. But Crooks believes that a return to form for Van Dijk is absolutely pivotal in the Reds' revised target of finishing in the Champions League qualification places.
