Liverpool went top of the league on Tuesday, so we’re all Brighton fans tonight! Today’s reaction to the win and the latest squad fitness news hits the headlines on Wednesday.
Firmino optimism over derby return
Liverpool’s front three each scored and assisted against Man United, then Diogo Jota came on and also assisted. Just Bobby Firmino was missing from the first-choice five, as he suffered a foot injury.
But there’s good news – he should be back for the weekend.
Everton lie in wait and they’ll obviously be trying to save their own souls just as much as wreck our title hopes, so having the No9 available would be a real positive after having the same front line start twice in a row.
“Bobby was not involved because in the very last situation of the City game he got something on his foot,” Klopp said. “It’s not really bad.”
“We hope so [that he can be involved vs. Everton]. “Actually, we were a bit worried but the scan was fine. But it’s still very painful and that’s why there was no chance [against Man United].”
