Liverpool boost as Thiago Alcantara and Mane available for Everton

Liverpool have been given a boost ahead of Saturday's Merseyside derby.

It is one the most highly anticipated matches between the two clubs in years, with Everton sitting on top of the Premier League table.

The Reds are hoping to bounce back after a 7-2 loss to Aston Villa prior to the international break.

And Jurgen Klopp will have Thiago Alcantara and Sadio Mane to select for the short trip to Goodison Park, according to the Daily Mail.

Both players have been sidelined recently after testing positive for COVID-19.

However, Klopp will likely be without in-form midfielder Naby Keita after he tested positive for coronavirus whilst on duty with Guinea.
