Virgil van Dijk says he is not considering discussing a possible Liverpool quadruple this season despite the Reds’ impressive first half of the season.
Arne Slot’s side beat Spurs 6-3 on Sunday and are currently top of both the Premier League and Champions League and are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
It’s been a strong start to life under Slot but the Liverpool captain insists he won’t get too carried away at this point in the season.

After the 6-3 win at Tottenham, the Dutchman said: “Are you talking about a quadruple in this case?” Well, I think I’ve answered this many times that we don’t believe what’s out there in May. We want to be up there in May, but we’ve seen how difficult it is.
“But listen, we’re focused on what’s next and that’s the only thing. I won’t get drawn into a conversation about possibly winning one or two, three or four trophies.
“It’s about being involved in every single game that lies ahead of us. At the moment there was Spurs, a tough game, but we played a very good game. And next comes Leicester, and that’s the only team we have influence over.”

However, Van Dijk, whose current contract at Anfield expires in the summer, was not surprised by the run which has seen them lose just once in all competitions this season.
“No (we didn’t surprise ourselves),” Van Dijk said.
“Yes, of course I think we only had one new addition to the squad in Federico (Chiesa) and this group of players have been playing together for quite a long time.
“The experience is there, the quality is there, I saw it every day.
“It is of course a surprise that such a big change is taking place with the replacement of Jürgen (Klopp) by the new manager and there will always be question marks, but I still had so much faith in my team that we definitely could keep up.” moment, at least at the top of the Premier League. So we have to stay consistent.”
On his contract situation at Liverpool, Van Dijk added: “There is no deadline at all.
“I’ll see what the future brings. I’m fully focused on Leicester.”
