Mohamed Salah was back on the scoresheet at Wolves, but the home side found a stoppage-time winner

"The stakes are very high," Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said after Tuesday's surprise 2-1 Premier League defeat to Wolves.

The loss at Molineux left Liverpool in fifth place, which is almost certain to be enough to qualify for the Champions League.

But the table is tight. The Reds have only a three-point cushion over Chelsea, who face fourth-placed Aston Villa for their game in hand on Wednesday.

"Either we get it and we deserve it or we don't get it and we don't deserve it," Van Dijk said.
