Van Dijk Eyes Arsenal Win but Keeps Focus on Liverpool’s Title Destiny

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has boldly predicted that Arsenal will defeat Crystal Palace when the two sides clash at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. But the Dutch defender also knows that Liverpool must handle their own business to lift the Premier League trophy this season.

In a candid chat with The Times, the 33-year-old centre-back shared his thoughts ahead of a pivotal week in the title race. While Liverpool could technically be crowned champions on Wednesday if Arsenal stumble, Van Dijk insists the Reds are keeping their eyes on the main goal: victory against Tottenham this weekend.

“I expect Arsenal to win at home… But if it doesn’t happen, then I think it would be nice to be together,” Van Dijk said.

The Liverpool skipper admitted that winning the league without kicking a ball wouldn’t be the worst thing — but emphasized that regardless of Arsenal’s result, Arne Slot’s men must stay sharp and get the job done against Spurs.

🗣️ Opinion Corner: The Title is Liverpool’s to Lose

Let’s be honest — whether Arsenal win or not midweek, the title is within Liverpool’s grasp. With a commanding 13-point lead, and just a few games left, it’s more a matter of when than if. Van Dijk’s composed yet confident comments show the maturity that has guided the Reds through a brilliant campaign.

Arsenal may be in fine form, but Liverpool have shown relentless consistency and a squad depth that screams champion material. The race isn’t officially over, but emotionally, fans are already bracing for the celebrations.

And while Van Dijk expects Arsenal to hold their own, it’s clear Liverpool aren’t relying on anyone — they’re ready to finish strong, with or without favours.
