Virgil Van Dijk has warned Everton that Liverpool will be ready to fight ugly if they cannot win the match with good football.

“I like it [the derby] to be fair,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports. “It is always something which motivates you even more and it is a great game to play in. It’s the derby and it’s special but we want to show our quality, win the game – hopefully with good football but if not, we are going to fight for it.”

“I didn’t look at recent games from them but it will be a game full of passion. Obviously you don’t want to lose that game – but you don’t want to lose any game. For us the task is to play our game like we have been doing all season.”

He said, he is also personally targeting more goals. “For myself, personally, to get two goals was great but I’m more satisfied with the clean sheet because if you are 2-0 up at the break sometimes you can get sloppy in the second half and I thought we were focused. Most of the time with set-pieces I’m always marked by the opponent’s best header.”
