Davids backs Liverpool & 'best player in Premier League' Van Dijk to win Champions League

The Dutch legend believes that the Reds should be the favourites in Madrid but has warned that Tottenham could easily come out on top

Former Netherlands international midfielder Edgar Davids believes Liverpool are favourites to lift the Champions League and is delighted with the role Virgil van Dijk has played in their progress to the final.

The Reds will take on Tottenham on Saturday in Madrid looking to banish their demons from last year's defeat to Real Madrid.

Davids, who played for Tottenham between 2005 and 2007, has, however, tipped the Reds as favourites to defeat Mauricio Pochettino's side and lift the trophy.
