Remains ever-present in defense

Van Dijk has played the full 90 minutes in every match across all competitions this season.

Analysis: Van Dijk remains an undisputed starter and has formed a solid central defensive partnership with Jeremy Jacquet. He has recorded five tackles, seven interceptions and 41 clearances across six appearances in all competitions, while completing every available minute. His workload and consistent place alongside Jacquet leave little doubt over his role at the heart of the defense.

First clean sheet

van Dijk had three tackles (three won), three clearances and one interception in Friday's 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town.

Analysis: van Dijk opened his account for clean sheets on the season during a nice win. He was never overly tested, but he looked excellent alongside Jeremy Jacquet, who seems set to be his long-term partner in the backline. van Dijk had some solid volume and led the defense as he always does. If this new-look backline continues to gel, there's sky-high upside for van Dijk.
