Sky Sports pundit Michael Dawson insists he would still pick Virgil van Dijk over William Saliba despite the latter's stellar impact this year.
The Arsenal centre-half has established himself in the starting XI for the first time since he was signed from Saint Etienne in 2019. Originally it looked as if he wasn't fancied by Mikel Arteta, but he has returned to the fold this term after several loans and looks to be set for big things.
He's helped solidify Arsenal's defence ahead of the visit of Liverpool and Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman has been the benchmark for centre-halves for several years having had an incredible impact at Anfield since signing in 2018. His form has dipped in recent months however.
