Andy Robertson has been previewing the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea on Sunday with Trent Alexander-Arnold.

As expected, the full-back duo’s chemistry made for an entertaining video, where Robertson had a dig at Virgil van Dijk.

What’s the story?

Well, the Scotland international is clearly fed up of the Dutchman being in charge of Liverpool’s pre-match playlist.

As seen on Liverpool’s official website, Robertson told Alexander-Arnold: “We need to get you on the pre-match playlist instead of Virg, because some of his music is shocking! As long as it keeps the big man happy though.”

We’d love to be a fly on the Anfield dressing room wall, just to hear how bad Van Dijk’s music taste really is!

Whatever the Netherlands international chooses to play, it seems to motivate his teammates, as the Reds rarely lose games nowadays under Jürgen Klopp.

For that reason alone, Robertson and Alexander-Arnold should allow Van Dijk to choose the music at Wembley this Sunday – changing the DJ now would surely be a bad omen.

Virgil van Dijk is shining for Liverpool

Many feared that Van Dijk would be a lesser player when he returned from his serious cruciate ligament injury.

However, if anything, the £75m man looks to have got even better.

As always, Van Dijk coasts through games like he’s playing against an Under-8 side, and rarely looks as if he’s breaking a sweat.

It must be a huge relief for Klopp and the Anfield faithful to see him back to his best, as an injury like the one he suffered can usually ruin careers.

If he delivers another colossal display to help Liverpool win more silverware under Klopp, it would be a nice way to crown his return to world class levels.
