Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino insists he has no problem with the competition from Darwin Nunez.

Firmino, who in the final year of his existing contract at Liverpool, spoke to the media ahead of the Reds' opening Champions League game with Napoli on Wednesday night in Naples.

"Nunez is a good friend and I think he'll help us a lot," said Firmino. "Obviously, there's always going to be competition in every position, but we're a team and what counts is what's best for Liverpool, getting the three points and what's best for the team.

"It comes down to the coach's decision, I'm always going to give my all so I can stand the best chance of playing."

Liverpool are currently seventh in the Premier League after winning just two of their opening six matches this season and Firmino knows his side "won't give up" until the campaign is over.

He added: "Obviously, it wasn't the start we wanted, we drew some games and lost one, but we haven't lost since that game and we've tried to improve in training, give our all every day and eliminate these mistakes. It's a long season, there's a lot of games ahead of us and we're not going to give up until the final matchday."
