Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is relishing the chance to take on Arsenal in the Premier League.

The two sides are battling for the Premier League title against the likes of Manchester City and surprise package Aston Villa.

Van Dijk knows the gaps are too small for the game on Saturday evening to be decisive, but does believe a positive result would set the tone for the Christmas period.

The club captain told Liverpoolfc.com: Definitely [Saturday is a massive game].

A very tough game ahead of us, Arsenal are in very good shape. Obviously it's going to be a big one and one that I'm definitely looking forward to.

They are very good, they are a very good team in every aspect. I think they are very good and we have to be very good as well at the weekend to win the game. But I love to look at my own team and I love to look at what we can bring to the table, and we have a lot to do as well and we can make it very difficult for them too.

I've got massive respect for them. But I want to win the game and we'll do everything in our power and my power to do so."
