Liverpool's midfield has often been dismissed as being too workmanlike, however, there is no denying the fact that the Reds have found players perfectly suited to the style Jurgen Klopp wants them to play. While the likes of Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Gini Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain have all been rotated according to the opposition, there is one man who has been absolutely undroppable for the current Premier League leaders - Fabinho.

Having arrived from Monaco last season, the Brazilian initially struggled to adjust to the robust pace and physicality of the Premier League. But, since the turn of 2019, Fabinho's performances have almost been faultless. Winning the ball with clean tackles and helping the team transition quickly from defence to attack, Fabinho has already put in some memorable performances in the Premier League this season.

While most of the plaudits are usually reserved for the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, the man who has perhaps been most important for Liverpool this season has been Fabinho.
