Liverpool midfielder Fabinho admits he would prefer to play higher up the pitch.

The Brazilian has been used as a centre-half at times this season, given the club's injury crisis in that position.

But after excelling in the position in the win over RB Leipzig on Wednesday, Fabinho told the club's website: "Yes, I missed it a little bit playing the midfield position.

"In general our quality was very good tonight, the communication from our two centre-halves, the pressing from the offensive players was working very good.

"Everyone was good, everyone enjoyed it, everyone pressed and we did the hard work."

The Reds claimed a 4-0 aggregate win over Leipzig to book a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals.
