Thiago Alcantara could be just the option Liverpool need to kick-start their title defence as Jurgen Klopp ponders whether to hand the midfielder a first Anfield start against Manchester United.
The reigning Premier League champions are yet to see the best of the high-profile signing from Bayern Munich, Thiago having seen his early months on Merseyside hampered by illness and injury.
However, having recovered from a knee issue suffered on October 17 against Everton, the Spain international has featured in Liverpool’s past three games, including playing the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 defeat away at Southampton on January 4.
Next up for the Reds is a clash with table-topping United, leaving Klopp to decide if he hands the 29-year-old a long-awaited home debut on Sunday.
