Pep Guardiola was full of praise for his defensive midfielder Fernandinho after Manchester City's 2-1 win over Chelsea.
The Champions were stretched to the limit by Frank Lampard's Blues, but they showed their resilience to come away with all three points.
It was another game where Fernandinho had to fill in at centre-back, due to the lack of options available to his manager.
"He was incredible in Anfield, he was incredible [against Chelsea]. He can play there," the City boss told reporters after the game.
"He is so fast and our build-up is perfect. He has the quality to make the play in that position in front.
"If Rodri and Gundogan are fit, I don't think [he will go back into midfield].
"I like Fernandinho in that position, with the problems that we have. I like it."
