Virgil van Dijk and his new Liverpool team-mates arrived early at Anfield ahead of their FA Cup clash against neighbours Everton on Friday night.

The £75million Dutch defender, signed from Southampton, seemed in a relaxed mood as he turned up at the club's stadium with his colleagues ahead of what could potentially be his first match in Liverpool colours.

Van Dijk was pictured arriving alongside compatriot Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can, who looks set to be off to Juventus in the summer after Sky Italy reported he had an 'agreement in principle' to join the Serie A giants.

The world's most expensive defender and his two other team-mates were spotted getting out of their respective cars in club attire before making their way inside Anfield.

Meanwhile,  Sadio Mane was  greeted by manager Jurgen Klopp in the car park on Friday after the winger made his way back from the CAF African Player of the Year awards gala in Ghana on Thursday.

The Senegalese international came second in the African Player of the Year voting behind club team-mate and Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.

25-year-old Mane arrived at Anfield with his suitcase in hand, which had a Liverpool tag attached to the top of it.

Klopp's Liverpool side go into Friday's highly anticipated FA Cup clash on the back of their last-gasp 2-1 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on New Year's Day.

However, Everton suffered defeat in their encounter leading up to the Merseyside derby, losing 2-0 against Manchester United at Goodison Park.
