Roberto Firmino is relishing the "competition" with Darwin Nunez as the two strikers battle it out for a starting role in the Liverpool side. Nunez was signed from Benfica in June for a fee that could reach a club record £85million.
Liverpool 's number nine got the nod over Nunez on the opening game of the season, but Firmino failed to fire as the Uruguayan came off the bench to score at Craven Cottage.
However, with Nunez picking up a three-match ban because of his red card against Crystal Palace, Firmino took his chance with three goals in two games, but had to settle for a place on the bench in Saturday's Merseyside derby draw.
