Van Dijk's Injury & Derby Day Reaction

The Athletic's James Pearce, Simon Hughes and Caoimhe O'Neill join Steve Hothersall to reflect on Saturday's Merseyside Derby. They discuss Jordan Pickford's horror tackle, and ask why action wasn't taken on the day. They also look at how Van Dijk's injury will impact the defence? Is Fabinho too important in midfield now to move back?  They also assess the team's performance against Everton and reflect on Mo Salah scoring his 100th goal for the club. *This podcast was recorded before we found out that Jordan Pickford would not be facing retrospective action for his challenge on VVD.
