Virgil van Dijk

Premier League defending leaves little room for error, and Liverpool's No. 4 has been tested in each of his five league outings this season. All five were starts, adding up to 450 minutes at centre-back. In that spell he made five tackles, took one shot and created one key pass. His average rating of 7.28 sits alongside a single yellow card.

Born in Breda, the Netherlands international arrived on 8 July 1991, which makes him 34. He stands 195 centimetres tall and weighs 92 kilograms, and he plays his club football at Liverpool in England's top flight.
