'He will score, there is absolutely no doubt about it': Jurgen Klopp backs misfiring Liverpool star Roberto Firmino to re-find his form after striker's Anfield goal drought continued in draw against Burnley

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given his backing to forward Roberto Firmino after his Anfield goal drought continued.

The Brazil international has not scored in the Premier League at home since March last year and his strike against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League four months ago is his only goal in front of the Kop since then.

He came closest to ending that run when he beat goalkeeper Nick Pope - not an easy task considering the Burnley goalkeeper's form in the 1-1 draw which ended Liverpool's 100 per cent home record - but hit the post to be denied the opportunity to double the Reds' lead.
