Liverpool to jet Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino back - source

This is a modal window.

Robbie Fowler believes the Reds have the edge on Everton ahead of this weekend's Merseyside derby.

Liverpool will again hire a private jet in order to bring Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino swiftly back from international duty, a source has told ESPN FC.

The Brazil internationals are set to feature in a World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in Sao Paulo, which kicks off at 1:45 a.m. BST, leaving them only two full days to prepare for Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield, which kicks off at 12.30 p.m.

If all goes to plan, Coutinho and Firmino will return to Liverpool on Wednesday before reporting for training on Thursday.
