Liverpool's Robert Firmino available for Chelsea clash
Tuesday 31 January 2017 09:13, UK
Robert Firmino will be available for Liverpool for their showdown with Premier League title rivals Chelsea after his drink-driving case was delayed.
The Brazilian striker was originally due to attend Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday after being stopped by police while driving in the city centre on Christmas Eve.
Jurgen Klopp's side requested a delay to avoid any interruption to his preparations and the court have agreed to move the hearing until Wednesday.
Firmino has scored nine goals for Liverpool this season and is expected to start against the Premiership leaders as the Reds bid to end a run of three home defeats.
Victory over Antonio Conte's side would halt Chelsea's march towards the title and lift the Reds to within seven points.
