Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has full confidence in whoever plays at right-back against Manchester City on Sunday.

Joe Gomez, James Milner or Neco Williams could all step in for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Van Dijk told the club's website, "They've proven that they are capable of playing there, doing a very good job. So whoever is playing there will be ready for it. Obviously it's probably going to be a different type of player than Trent is, but that could also benefit us in a way maybe – you never know. We'll see what the manager decides. I know for a fact that we'll be ready.

"I missed just being out there, feeling the buzz on a matchday, travel to games, getting [stick] from fans of opponents that we face. Just feeling that you're playing for something again, it's just a nice feeling. Obviously you work towards something during the week [so] that you can perform and hopefully get a good result.

"I feel very privileged and blessed to be playing on the highest level and [in], I think, the best league in the world, especially with everything that happened over the summer, with signings that certain teams made. Everyone wants to come to the Premier League, I think. So to be playing here is a blessing and I enjoy every second of it.
