Virgil van Dijk believes Liverpool are "not a nice team to play against" as he detailed what makes Jurgen Klopp's side such a difficult opponent.
The Reds have lost just two of their last 43 games in all competitions to maintain their challenge on four fronts this season.
Klopp's men have cut the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to nine points with a game in hand while reaching the Carabao Cup final and progressing in the Champions League and FA Cup.
And Van Dijk has explained how Liverpool have continued to prosper since his arrival for a club record £75million four years ago.

"It's a mixture of the hard work we put in and most of the tactics and the intensity that we put in," said the Holland international.
"I don't think that we are a nice team to play against. We have a lot of weapons, we can defend well as a team, but we also can counter-press and that's something we work on on a daily basis.
"If you look at the players we have in each position, we can all make a difference. We all have responsibilities in our team to make it very difficult for our opponent.
"We just want to keep it going and create good things. I want to do everything in a clean way, I want to win with quality and be the better side on the winning end.
"That's the beauty at this club and with this team with what I've experienced here, we all do it together. Everyone has their responsibilities, everyone has to feel the responsibility in order to get a good result. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing here."
Van Dijk was speaking in a question and answer session with Nike master trainer Jamie Velocity.
And asked for his dream centre-back partner from a past era, the 30-year-old opted for former Everton boss Ronald Koeman, who signed him from Celtic for Southampton in 2015 and later was his manager with the Holland national team.
"I would say Ronald Koeman, more because he is quite an important figure in my career so far," said Van Dijk.
"He won the Euros with Holland in 1988. So I would say him."
