Arne Slot\u2019s side dropped points in their last top-flight outing, a 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, and Van Dijk has no doubt that this afternoon\u2019s opponents will also provide a stern test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter a couple of games away from home, plus the cancellation of last weekend\u2019s Merseyside derby, we are looking forward to returning to Anfield this weekend. We know how important this time of year is. It is a really intense period, where each and every game requires maximum focus and maximum attention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFulham will be no different. They are a team that can cause anybody problems, as we saw last weekend when they played really well against Arsenal. They have good players, a good coach and they always play with a lot of confidence and belief.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe know that from last season. We played against them four times and every single one of those games was close. We know we will have to work extremely hard today if we are to pick up the three points,\" Van Dijk wrote in LFC\u2019s matchday notes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier this week, Van Dijk was included in the 2024 FIFPRO Men\u2019s World11 \u2013 the fourth occasion he has been voted into the team by his peers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Liverpool and Netherlands skipper took the time to acknowledge the honour. \u201cIt was an honour for me to be named in the FIFPRO Men\u2019s World11 earlier this week, alongside some of the game\u2019s finest players. To be recognised by your peers is always special, and I am extremely proud to have received such a nomination for the fourth time in my career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
