'Like Benzema' - Jurgen Klopp told who should start in Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez Liverpool debate

Clarence Seedorf has compared one Liverpool forward to Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and insists that he should start every game for Jurgen Klopp's side.

That's despite Roberto Firmino making the starting XI for the Reds' 4-1 humbling against Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

The Brazilian has faced competition for his place since the arrival of Diogo Jota at Anfield and now has a further challenge in the shape of Darwin Nunez, following his big-money switch from Benfica this summer. But Seedorf, who won the Champions League with three different clubs during his career, is a big fan of Firmino's attributes and believes that even with Nunez in the squad, Jurgen Klopp will want to utilise the Liverpool No.9's game intelligence.
