Liverpool: Team News<\/h2>\n

After missing the last six games with a muscular problem, Firmino is fit again for Liverpool, though he may be forced to settle for a place on the bench.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp also confirmed Darwin Nunez remains sidelined with a toe injury, having missed the victory over Leicester City.<\/p>\n

The Uruguay international joins long-term absentees Thiago, Naby Keita, Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsey in the treatment room.<\/p>\n

Klopp said during his pre-match press conference: “Darwin will not be available. It’s an inflammation of a tendon at the toe \u2013 very painful, obviously.<\/p>\n

“He didn’t train yet this week, so he will not be available for [Saturday].<\/p>\n

“The long-term injuries are still out, but all the rest should be available.”<\/p>\n
