The Reds are about to end their 30-year wait for a league title.

Virgil van Dijk has revealed Liverpool's next challenge after lifting the Premier League title is to dominate the English top flight next term.

The Reds are on the brink of being crowned champions of the 2019-20 season as they need two more victories to win their first major league title since 1990.

Speaking to the Daily Mail ahead of Liverpool's clash against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday evening, Van Dijk said: "With two wins, we will be champions. But it doesn’t stop there. We want to keep going, we want to take it into next season as well because that will start pretty quickly after the last game of this season.

"The manager spoke to us as well and said that what we do in these last nine games will set the tone for next season as well.

"We have not won the title yet. We have not won anything yet. But the aim is to start next season in the same fashion.

"We can be a team that can keep progressing. We have players who can progress and make big steps in their development. Winning the league would be a big experience that could take them to the next level.

"We can achieve that first and foremost this season and then we will see what can happen next season. If we win the title this season, we will try to retain it.

"That’s what we are aiming for but everyone knows how difficult it is to retain the title, especially in England and we are not there this season yet. We tried to retain our Champions League title and it wasn’t possible. It’s very difficult.

"We will try to focus on the nine games we have left but we hope to set the pace for the rest of next season with the title behind our name and defend the title as well."
