Virgil van Dijk has backed his Liverpool teammates to withstand the pressure that comes with setting the pace in a Premier League title race.The Reds currently boast a seven-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal with 13 games to go - a lead they secured after holding on to a nervy 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend.While Van Dijk accepted the rising anxiety, towards which the last-minute equaliser against Everton will definitely have contributed, is a natural consequence to being out in front, he assured fans the squad is strong enough to get the job done.We are all human beings and I totally understand anxiety or nervousness can kick in, he reflected.

I said it weeks ago, we just have to buckle up, enjoy the ride.

There will be a lot of twists and turns.If you're not ready for it, it will be a difficult couple of months for you but I feel like we as a team are ready for it.

We will give it everything we've got and we will see in 13 games if that is enough..
