Richard Dunne says that Dominik Szoboszlai's 'brilliant' impact since his summer arrival is the reason Liverpool go to the Etihad Stadium in the hunt for the Premier League title.
It comes after a drop off in intensity last season - one that was particularly visible amongst the worn out midfield options at Jurgen Klopp's disposal.
This issue was addressed in the transfer market and one addition that has spearheaded the Anfield revolution this term is £60m signing Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.
Dunne
"He has been absolutely brilliant,"
"He's one of those players that people tune in to watch for his energy, quality and ability to score a cracker from distance
"The one worry is whether he can maintain his intensity over the course of a whole season, but what an impact he's made - and he's probably changed Liverpool's outlook on the campaign.
"Instead of just thinking about getting back in the Champions League, they're eyeing the title and that's thanks in part to Szoboszlai.
"He's given belief back to the fans and the players, he's brought the best out of Van Dijk and given everyone that enthusiasm which was perhaps missing last season."
