Liverpool’s Dutch defender #04 Virgil van Dijk reacts during the Uefa Europa League round of 16 second leg football match between Liverpool and AC Sparta Praha at Anfield in Liverpool, north west England on March 14, 2024. — AFP picLONDON, March 16 — Virgil van Dijk says the intensity of Liverpool’s bitter rivalry with Manchester United will make tomorrow’s FA Cup quarter-final a major test for his quadruple chasers.
With Liverpool targeting a trophy clean-sweep and United hoping to preserve their last chance of silverware this season, the stage is set for the latest chapter in English football’s most historic feud.Separated by just 30 miles, the cities of Liverpool and Manchester have been united in mutual loathing since the Industrial Revolution, competing for bragging rights in football, music, fashion and numerous other domestic squabbles.
But despite that change in the balance of power, Liverpool captain Van Dijk believes meetings with United still require a unique level of commitment. “The history of the games with the two biggest clubs in England brings extra expectation and pressure. But why not just go out there and enjoy it, play our game and hopefully go to the next round.”
Erik ten Hag’s team sit sixth in the Premier League and face a tough task to qualify for the Champions League via a top-four finish.
