Fabinho believes Trent Alexander-Arnold can use his passing quality when dropping into the midfield from his right-back position - like he showed in the 6-1 win over Leeds United.
Alexander-Arnold was still deployed as a right-back by Jurgen Klopp, but he has now been given license to move into the centre of the pitch to make use his creativity on the ball - as seen in the draw with Arsenal and the win at Elland Road.
The Liverpool number 66 put in a Player of the Match display as he recorded two assists and 153 touches on the ball as the Reds dismantled the relegation battlers in West Yorkshire.

Alexander-Arnold is likely to carry on in his new inverted full-back position as 18th place Nottingham Forest visit Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Fabinho told Liverpoolfc.com: "Trent is somebody really good on the ball, with his quality of pass and finding players in behind. We can really use this. In this position, of course he will have less time to think but I think he's a little bit used to being in this position. Even when he played right-back, he likes to drop a little bit and go to the middle.
"We can really use his quality of pass. In the last game, he gave two assists and was really good – not just with his passing but his reaction was good as well. I think in the Academy he played as a midfielder, so he knows a little bit about this role and it was not hard for him."
Liverpool boss Klopp was seen celebrating the counter-pressing of his side in the 92nd minute at Elland Road on Monday night and the Brazilian highlighted just how good the defensive work was.
"Yes, and on the pitch it just feels good when you see everybody going in the same direction, everybody reacting," added Fabinho. "You saw that we recovered the ball much more in our offensive [area] of the pitch. I think our first two goals were after counter-presses and we took the ball and with the quality that we have we scored the goals. I think this is one of the important points of this team.
"And with the intensity that we play, the reaction must be there, the counter-press must be there. This is one of the biggest reasons why we won the game. And then with the ball, I think we were really good as well.
"We were patient in some moments when we couldn't find space but we kept the ball, we kept passing and then we found a good pass, the good choice. When you play like this, you can win, you can score goals. It's always nice to win in the way that we won."
