This Liverpool pair can become one of the Premier League’s great defensive pairs

Liverpool’s new partnership of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez has the perfect blend of youth and experience and could become one of the Premier League’s great defensive pairs. Van Dijk, 27, is now playing with the confidence and maturity of a central defender at his peak. Gomez who is  six years Van Dijk's junior is starting to display the same impressive traits. Gomez has the ability to be just as good as Van Dijk. Such healthy competition will bring out even more from both players.
