Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk admits he avoids Manchester City's games.

The Reds are still unbeaten domestically and the commanding Dutchman has revealed that he is only concentrating on his team's efforts – not City's.

"I don't watch Man City's games but I have family and friends who text me or say something, especially after the Wolves game [when City lost 2-0]," Van Dijk told Sky Sports.

"That's just part of life but we've learnt from last year that we don't have to look to the others until the end of the campaign. So far, we have been doing well but Man City are definitely not going away.

"I don't think we have anything to lose. Man City are the champions, they're defending their title and we want to get it. In my point of view, we just have to go for it."
