Speaking after the 3-0 win over Leicester City, Fabinho explained how he approaches playing at the back.

"Centre-half, I try to be always in good communication with my teammates – Joel, Robbo, the players around me. They help me a lot," he said.

"We knew we were playing against a very good team and a very dangerous striker [Jamie Vardy] but the communication was very important for that as well.

"I know in this position I have to be concentrated every minute of the game and I'm happy because we kept the clean sheet.

"I'm very happy to be back as well, to play the 90 minutes and win the game 3-0. I feel good, no problems. I'm happy because I'm back and played the full game."
