Liverpool coach Arne Slot is working with plenty of his fellow countrymen at Anfield.

Alongside him on the Reds’ bench is Sipke Hulshoff, his trusted assistant, plus former Netherlands international John Heitinga, among others.

Of course, in the Liverpool squad are some of the Netherlands’ best performers.

Virgil van Dijk is long established as one of the best central defenders around and has been a mainstay in the Liverpool lineup since 2018.

Ryan Gravenberch, meanwhile, is becoming one of the most consistent defensive midfielders in the Premier League this season having risen to prominence under Slot.

And forward Cody Gakpo is now beginning to edge Luis Diaz out of Liverpool’s preferred starting XI having scored two more goals in the midweek Carabao Cup victory against Brighton.
