Virgil van Dijk says he is not entertaining any talk of a potential Liverpool quadruple this season, despite the Reds’ impressive first half of the campaign.
Arne Slott’s side beat Spurs 6-3 on Sunday and are currently top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables, as well as in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
It has been a strong start to life under the slot but the Liverpool captain insists he will not go too far at this stage of the season.

After the 6-3 win at Tottenham, the Dutchman said: “Are you talking about a quadruple in this case? Well, I think I’ve already answered many times that we don’t think what’s in May. We want to be there in May, but we have seen how difficult it is.
“But, listen, we focus on what’s next and that’s the only thing. I’m not getting drawn into any conversation about potential trophies or winning two or three or four.
“It’s about being there each and every game that’s in front of us. At the moment, there was Spurs, which was a tough one, but we played very well. And then there’s Leicester, and that’s the only team we even have an influence on.”

However, Van Dijk, whose current contract at Anfield is due to expire in the summer, is not surprised by the run that has seen them lose just once in all competitions this term.
“No (we are not surprised ourselves),” Van Dijk said.
“Yes, obviously, I think we’ve only had one addition to the squad in terms of Federico (Chiesa), and this group of players has been playing together for a long time.
“The experience is there, the quality is there, I’ve seen it every day.
“It’s obviously surprising that there’s been such a big change since Jurgen (Klopp) was replaced by a new manager, and there will always be question marks, but I still had enough confidence in my team that we could definitely compete. Moment , at least at the top of the Premier League so we have to be consistent.”
On his contract situation at Liverpool, Van Dijk added: “There is no deadline.
“I will see what the future holds. I am completely focused on Leicester.
