Manchester City vs Liverpool: 5 players who could decide the tie

#1 Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van will be vital for Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk is quickly becoming a fan-favorite at Anfield and has stabilised the Reds' defence in a few months.

Liverpool's centre-back is the most expensive defender in the world and will be a major hurdle for Manchester City to overcome if they are to make it to the semifinals. He put a brilliant performance during the first leg against City and didn't give Pep Guardiola's front line even a sniff at goal.

The newly appointed Netherlands' captain adds calmness to Liverpool's backline and works as a leader for the team. He will be vital for the Reds and Jurgen Klopp will be expecting a lot from his record signing.
