Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk has dropped a strong hint he could be fit to face Chelsea in London on Saturday.

The Netherlands international was substituted during the 3-0 Premier League win over former club Southampton last weekend with a fitness concern and missed the Carabao Cup defeat to Chelsea in mid-week.
