Virgil van Dijk admits that 'anything can happen' when the Premier League returns after the World Cup this winter.
The English top-flight is set for an unprecedented period over the next two months, with teams undertaking a six-week hiatus from league football as players head to Qatar for the first ever winter World Cup. Fixture schedules over the past few months have already been condensed to a near-unmanageable scale, particularly for the likes of Liverpool and others competing in Europe on a weekly basis.
Van Dijk enjoyed one of his more commanding performances of the season in Tuesday night's 2-0 win at home to Napoli, but he and his teammates have been some way off the pace domestically, with consecutive defeats against Nottingham Forest and Leeds United a low point.
