Jamie Carragher believes that Fabinho is the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League and thinks his former club have been stronger since he established himself in the team.
The 25-year-old moved to Liverpool in a £43.7m deal from Monaco last summer but he initially struggled to make an impression at Anfield, failing to nail down a place in Jurgen Klopps side.
Fabinho has steadily grown in influence at Liverpool, though, starting in the Champions League final win over Spurs and featuring in all four of their Premier League fixtures this term.
Carragher has been so impressed by Fabinhos impact in the side that he believes he has usurped Manchester Citys Fernandinho as the divisions most influential holding midfielder.
Speaking after Liverpools 3-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor, Carragher said: I actually think hes the best in the Premier League now in that position.
