THE Liverpool is at the top of the Premier League having an excellent season, since apart from their place in the league, they continue in the Eupopa League and on February 25th they will challenge for the EFL Cup trophy against Chelsea.
In this process, the reborn contributes absolutely Virgil Van Dyck, who returned to excellent performances after last year’s special season. The Dutch defender is located at the top of the aerial duels won list, having beaten his opponents 85 times, maintaining the best overall rate with 81% success. That puts him higher on the list than Brentford’s Ethan Pinnock, who also has 85 wins.
