Liverpool looking to give Firmino a fitting farewell
Liverpool play their last home game of the 2022-23 Premier League season. The Reds will look to mark the occasion with a great result, especially with Roberto Firmino in line to make his last appearance at Anfield.
The Brazilian might have been upset at not having started the game but could see a few minutes off the bench. He will hope to bid the stadium aideu with a goal or two.
He has scored only 11 times across competitions this season, of which eight have come at Anfield. All his goals have come in the Premier League, so the chances of scoring against Villa are good for the departing player.
