The statistics don't lie and, if you're a Liverpool fan, they make for very pleasant reading right now.
Numbers can be crunched whichever way one pleases, yet the underlining fact appears to be this; when Fabinho starts games for Liverpool, Liverpool do not lose.
It's been an extraordinary journey for the Brazilian during his short tenure on Merseyside so far, which has seen him go from a slow-burner to arguably the most indispensable player in the starting XI.
The signing of Fabinho heralded a new dawn for Jurgen Klopp's side. The news of the Brazilian's capture was published the very morning after the 2018 Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev.
Travelling Liverpool supporters hadn't even landed back on English soil before their club's first summer purchase had been unveiled. It was rapid business, conducted very much under the radar.
Sceptics believed it was a handy PR technique, to quickly gloss over a European final collapse and set tongues wagging about summer signings.
For Liverpool, however, the plan had been in place for some time. Fabinho had been identified as the man to replace the outgoing Emre Can, with the number-crunchers in Liverpool's stats room practically salivating at the potential of the versatile star.
The waiting game was to begin, with Klopp adamant Fabinho learned both the English game and the intricacies of Liverpool's system.
It was to be an arduous process, which saw Fabinho handed a brief substitute cameo against Paris Saint Germain in Europe before being placed neatly back on the shelf.
His first start, in a League Cup fixture against Chelsea in September 2018, saw Fabinho make the joint most tackles in the Liverpool team. Eden Hazard's winner, however, rather soured the evening.
Intermittent appearances followed, which were all part of a carefully coordinated cocooning process. Now before us, as we observed at Anfield on Sunday, the finished product has arrived.
Since nestling into the starting XI and carving out the 'No 6 position' at the base of the Reds midfield, Fabinho has not lost a single game.
In his 31 domestic games played, the man from Sao Paulo has tasted victory 26 times, and drawn five.
When he's in the line-up, Liverpool average 2.5 goals every game. Their goals against average comes in at just 0.7.
A remarkable combination of high intensity work rate, expert tackling and a large repertoire of passing ability has seen Fabinho quite literally transform Liverpool's approach and sequence of play.
Fabinho's win percentage sits at an incredibly healthy 83.9 per cent, with an average points accumulation of 2.7 per game. The figures suggest that when Fabinho starts, Liverpool are highly likely to win.
And so it was seen at Anfield, as Pep Guardiola lost his composure beneath the famous lights and Fabinho took centre stage like never before. Though not renowned as a goalscorer, the Brazilian broke the deadlock on six minutes from 35 yards.
Hit like a sledgehammer yet with the delicate craft of an artist's hand, Fabinho rocketed his side into the lead before going on to put himself all about the field, harrying opponents and applying constant pressure.
The relentless nibbling and alpha strutting around midfield annoyed even that of Fernandinho, who has prided himself on doing a similar job in the Premier League for years.
Fabinho could well be the natural successor to his compatriot in the Brazil national team and, should his faultless form continue, one of the first South Americans to lift a Premier League title with Liverpool.
