Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Curtis Jones was key at both ends of the pitch for the Reds in their crucial Premier League win over Chelsea at the weekend.
Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory against Chelsea thanks to a Curtis Jones winner.
Midfielder Curtis Jones believes his "time has come" to play a significant role for Liverpool.
Curtis Jones' double and strikes from Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah eased Liverpool into a record 19th League Cup semi-final with a 5-1 win over West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp joked that he used the promise of the captain's armband to sell Curtis Jones on the idea of playing right-back for Liverpool.
Curtis Jones insisted he never lost faith he would earn a Liverpool revival after coming through a "tough time" to establish himself as a first-team regular.
