Virgil van Dijk credits world-class talent and determination as reasons for Liverpool's resilience this season.
The 3-1 win at Southampton on Friday night was the third consecutive Premier League match the Reds have secured victory after being faced with the prospect of dropping points.
The league leaders now turn their attention towards the Champions League as FC Porto arrive at Anfield on Tuesday for the first leg of a quarter-final tie.
Liverpool emerged 5-0 aggregate victors in last season's Round of 16 meeting with the Portuguese side, although Van Dijk is aware that will have no bearing on the rematch.
