Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott is impressed by the partnership of John Stones and Ruben Dias.
The understanding between the Portuguese international and England centre back has been one of the eye-catching hallmarks of City's play over the past two months.
Lescott told City's website: “The partnership with Dias and Stones, it's getting formidable.
“That comes with games and that's a key element to any centre-back partnership, trust.
“I need to know that if I'm exposing myself for a slight second, you'll have my back. They have that.
“You see them picking each other up and celebrating tackles like they're a goal. We conceded but overall, that's possibly one of the quietest games the goalkeeper has had."
