Alisson started training with Liverpool earlier this week following a break after Brazil's World Cup campaign.

Klopp told Liverpool's website: "It's pretty likely (he'll make his debut). We should not waste time.

"Then it'll be nearly a week, or six days in training, since he (started) and yes, he will play."
