Van Dijk will have a special match against Arsenal for this strange reason

The Premier League match of the day has started to heat up on social media. Arsenal fans seem confident that their team will not only win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but that their players are better line for line than Liverpool FC, who have struggled at the start of the season with multiple injuries, giving Klopp multiple headaches.

The Red's German coach knows very well that he has a great wall at the back, between Alisson Becker and his defenders led by Dutch superstar Virgil van Dijk, who is starting to get comparisons in the league, with his opponent being France international and Arsenal player William Saliba, who has started to shine in his return to the Premier League.

Saliba has had the spotlight on him since his debut of the season, when he was named man of the match against Crystal Palace on Matchday 1. At the age of 21, he has established himself as Arsenal's benchmark player. This level has led him to be recently compared to a Premier League icon, such as van Dijk, who has one league goal and seven starts to his name.

But the young Frenchman has also started every league game so far, and even recently in the London derby, he denied striker Harry Keane to help Arsenal win the game. This could worry Klopp, who could base his attack on a South American legion full of grit with Luiz Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Bobby Firmino.

Van Dijk will have a direct confrontation with a player who is starting to overshadow him

The age difference between William Saliba and Virgil van Dijk is ten years, and the former Southampton man's career has no place in today's comparison. Van Dijk has won the Champions League, Club World Cup, European Super Cup, etc, while Saliba is just beginning to write his story. The only thing that is the same between them is that they will be at the next World Cup in Qatar representing their national teams at a high level.
