Virgil van Dijk has insisted Liverpool will be the favourites when they take the field against Porto in the first leg of the Champions League quarter final.

The defender has excelled this season and has been the most consistent players for the Reds. The onus will be on the 26 year old to provide Liverpool with the bedrock as the Reds are eyeing a famous double this time.

Jurgen Klopp’s side has already proven their title credentials and is giving Manchester City a run for their own money. The Reds humiliated the Portuguese side as they piled on five goals in the Champions League last season but van Dijk is expecting a tough fight this time.

“I think Liverpool as a club, if you look at the whole season and results at Anfield especially, we will go into tomorrow as favourites.

“We have to enjoy it and perform.

“We know it will be tough. They (Porto) don’t want to experience what they experienced last year.”
