Replacing him would be a difficult idea for any positional peer, but Guehi has what it needs.<\/p>\n<p>    Guehi has spent several years honing his skills in the Premier League, but now he is ready to take his leap to the highest level. Van Dijk did something similar.<\/p>\n<p>But in reality, we can say Guehi is more accomplished than the Liverpool skippers did in the Southampton era. After all, Guehi captained the Eagles to an incredible FA Cup victory, beating Manchester City in the May final at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>However, looking at their respective performances over past semesters in the Premier League, it is clear that Guehi still has levels that expand two levels before claiming he is in the same stadium as Van Dijk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>PREM 24\/25 -Guehi vs Van Dijk<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics (*per game)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Guehi<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>van dijk <\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Match (start)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>34 (34)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>37 (37)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>the goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>A beautiful sheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>14<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>touch*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>64.9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>90.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Pass completed<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>84%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>92%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Key Pass*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>dribble*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Ball recovery*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Tackle + Intercept*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>clearance*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5.1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Duels (winning)*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.9 (59%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.7 (69%)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>An error has occurred<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>Data based on sofa score<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>But, undoubtedly, the species is there, and can prove that two seasons alongside legend will cut his tool to the sharpest edges, allowing him to become a superstar at Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>The palace man is technically sound and creative.
