Liverpool picked up a huge win on Wednesday night, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield thanks to Roberto Firmino’s dramatic winner.
The Reds were heading towards a draw as Son Heung-min cancelled out Mohamed Salah’s deflected opener, but Firmino came up with a late header to win the game.
Liverpool will head into the weekend top of the Premier League table, and the focus now turns to taking on Crystal Palace this weekend.
A trip to Selhurst Park certainly won’t be easy, but Jurgen Klopp has been handed a major boost ahead of the journey to South London.
Liverpool published photos from training today, and fans spotted Joel Matip in the background of one shot.
The Cameroonian defender was substituted at half time against Fulham on Sunday with a back injury, and wasn’t even in the squad to face Tottenham last night.
Yet his presence in training today will give fans hope that he will be involved against Palace this weekend, bolstering the Liverpool back four.
Rhys Williams impressed against Tottenham, but having Matip back to partner Fabinho would be a huge boost, providing valuable experience in what will be a tricky away game.
