Harry Kane has reminded Virgil van Dijk that he and his Liverpool team can be beaten ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The biggest game of the Premier League weekend sees the Reds host Spurs in a repeat of the Champions League final from June.

Liverpool comfortably won that contest 2-0 in Madrid, with Kane struggling to make an impact against Van Dijk as he started the game despite not being fully fit.

The England captain has no fitness concerns as he heads to Merseyside this weekend and, as he looks to gain a measure of revenge, has made it clear that he is not afraid of Liverpool or their colossus of a centre-back.

‘Van Dijk is a great defender but he is not invincible and Liverpool are not invincible,’ said Kane.

‘We just have to concentrate on ourselves. Any team can be beaten on any day and we just have to try to make sure we do that at Anfield.

‘As a striker, it’s not just ­one-v-one on the pitch, there’s a lot that goes into it. Van Dijk is an amazing defender and he has had a fantastic couple of years at Liverpool.

‘From my point of view it’s just about playing my game and making my movements, doing my runs and trying to get on the scoresheet, trying to get assists.

‘At the end of the day, it’s a team game, so we all have to be on it with each other and that’s the main aim.’

Kane, who turned 26 in July, has continued the fine goal-scoring form this season that he has been displaying since the 2014-15 season when he really made his breakthrough as a world class talent.

The free-scoring forward has netted eight times in 12 games across all competitions for Spurs this campaign and six more times for England.

Undoubtedly one of the world’s best strikers, Kane failed to find the back of the net against Liverpool in three matches last season, but has scored five times against the Reds previously in his career, he will be aiming to do so again on Sunday.
