Brentford striker Toney: Liverpool defender Van Dijk should worry about me

Brentford striker Ivan Toney says facing the likes of Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk holds no fear for him.

The Bees make their first appearance in the Premier League this season.

Toney told The Athletic: “I think he will be thinking about how he's going to get the better of me, more than me getting the better of him.

“He's human. Let's just hope I have a worldie that day and he lets me get free.

“It will be a good challenge.

“A lot different from what I'm used to and I can't wait.

“Scoring in front of the Kop is the dream this season."
