Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has had a similar transformative effect on the club as Virgil van Dijk did with Liverpool, Richard Dunne believes, with both sides having become immediately more solid at the back upon their arrivals.
Dias signed a six-year contract when joining City last summer and has quickly justified his £61 million ($83m) price tag with a series of excellent defensive performances and winning the club's player of the month award in November.
The solidity and confidence now emanating from City's back line is in stark contrast to that of Liverpool's this season, with the Reds suffering badly due to the long-term injury sustained by centre-back lynchpin Van Dijk.
