Liverpool veteran James Milner says he feels as fit as he ever.

This despite the taunts from teammate Virgil van Dijk over his age.

"To be honest I feel fine, I feel the same," he said on TalkSport Sports Breakfast.

"I'm waiting for that day when we do a session and I feel it a bit harder than the boys.

"It's always nice when I'm asking the young lads if I'm finding a hard session tough and they're agreeing with me. I don't know, they might be doing that just to make me feel better!

"Virgil [Van Dijk] gives me plenty of stick that's what one of the celebrations last season was about [his 'old man' celebration after scoring against Cardiff back in April].

"He's always joking. When there's Premiership Years or a game in black and white on the TV in the treatment room, he'll say, 'Milly, what number are you?"
