Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on Liverpool signing Thiago Alcantara ahead of two matches between the teams in the space of four days.
The Gunners, who have won each of their three matches in all competitions this season, face the Premier League champions at Anfield on Monday, before a Carabao Cup tie at the same venue on Thursday.
Thiago came off the substitutes' bench to make an impressive debut for Liverpool in their win at Chelsea last weekend - Jurgen Klopp's men also coming into the double-header on the back of a 100 per cent start.
