COMMENTARY:

To say Firmino is a hugely popular member of the Liverpool team is something of an understatement. The former Hoffenheim forward is adored by the Anfield masses for his technical brilliance and outstanding work ethic. Jurgen Klopp has built his forward line around the Brazil international, whose relentless pick-pocketing of opponents has become as much his signature move as the no-look finish. Liverpool will need all their big guns for the clash of the titans against PSG tonight, and Firmino will be one of the first names on the teamsheet if, as now seems certain, he is given the all-clear to start. You have to search long and hard for Liverpool supporters who have not come to appreciate and admire Firmino. He does not score the goals of Mohamed Salah or have the scorching pace of Sadio Mane, but he would walk into any side in the Premier League because he is just so good.
