England international Daniel Sturridge is in the contention to start in place of Firmino, however, the Brazilian will go through a late fitness test before the game and still has an outside chance to start for the Reds.
Liverpool's star defender, Virgil van Dijk is suspended for the game, whereas Dejan Lovren is also in doubt to play. Meanwhile, Alex Oxlade Chamberlian and Joe Gomez are the notable long term absentees for the Reds.
