The return of Virgil van Dijk will be a huge boost for the Reds, and they will be looking to add more firepower to their attack.

Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brighton are figghting for a place in Europa League (or even something more). Leicester City have established themselves as a top-six team, and Dean Smith will be looking to build on their recent success.
