Manchester City can shock us if we just sit back, warns Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk ahead of Champions League quarter-final second leg

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk doesn't think his team should change their adventurous outlook for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final return at Manchester City, despite holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg.

Provided they don't collapse at the Etihad, the five-time European Cup winners are set to join Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in a glamorous semi-final line-up that will add to Liverpool's proud heritage.

The temptation is there for manager Jurgen Klopp to try to shut up shop given the balance of the tie. But Van Dijk, who became the world's most expensive defender when he signed from Southampton for £75million in January, believes that a change in philosophy would be self-defeating.
