Jamie Carragher believes Ozan Kabak could make his Liverpool debut against Manchester City this weekend, tipping him to start the game.
The Reds face a must-win encounter in the Premier League title race on Sunday afternoon as they host the leaders at Anfield.
Kabak joined on loan from Schalke 04 at the start of the week and he could be in contention to play this weekend. Someone who thinks he could feature from the start is Carragher, who told Sky Sports that he could see him playing alongside Fabinho at centre-back:
I expect Alisson to be back, Fabinho could be back at centre-back, maybe the new centre-back Ozan Kabak plays with Jordan Henderson playing in midfield, and I think Sadio Mane will be back.

I personally find to difficult to see Kabak being thrown in for such a huge game, however, considering he is still very much adjusting to life at Liverpool.
It is easier to envisage the returning Fabinho starting alongside Jordan Henderson in defence, even though that remains a far-from-ideal situation.
Kabak looks more likely to earn his first start in a less pressurised up-and-coming game, although with matches against Leicester City, RB Leipzig and Everton up next, the big games keep on coming for Liverpool.
