Virgil van Dijk: This kind of April is what we all want

Virgil van Dijk has encouraged Liverpool to enjoy the demands of a hugely significant and exciting April fixture schedule.

The Reds signed off for the international break by booking their place in the Emirates FA Cup semi-finals with a narrow 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday evening.

Diogo Jota’s close-range finish 12 minutes from full-time at the City Ground secured progress to a last-four showdown with Manchester City at Wembley.

It means another massive game for Jürgen Klopp’s men in a month that will see them continue their Premier League title chase and face Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals.
