The Whites are six games unbeaten in the Premier League after a 0-0 draw against Manchester United at the weekend, and have taken points from Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea in that run as well.
Their recent purple patch has left Marcelo Bielsa’s men ninth in the table, with a top-half finish still very much in sight, and the Argentine believes that the togetherness of his squad has been a key factor in their success this season.
Speaking recently, he said: “The group of players have constructed a solid group.
“Throughout this time they made errors and they’ve learned how to correct them. In the same way, they’ve learned to avoid errors that are avoidable. I have the feeling there’s been a growth in maturity, in the experience to manage these games.
“The way in which to administer the different periods in the game has been improving.
“The capacity for the players to go up against these very good players has also increased. Progressively, but not in a definitive manner, we can impose ourselves over the opposing defence and avoid being overcome by attackers of the highest level. These are individual merits and a great togetherness within the components of the team allows them to support each other throughout the whole game.”
