Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has claimed Fabinho is the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League.

Fabinho shone in his side's 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday.

"I actually think he's the best in the Premier League now in that position," Carragher said.

"Fernandinho looks like he's fading out of the City team and Rodri is just coming in but I think since Christmas when he came in [to the team] you could argue he was Liverpool's best player last season.

"Right now I think he's the best in that position. I think Liverpool paid between £40-50m, it was a few quid, he had a difficult start but that's where Liverpool have improved this season.

"If you think of the start of last season how well they were playing but they didn't have Fabinho."
