With Lucas Perri ruled out, it means Darlow will step in for his first Premier League start since his arrival from Newcastle.
“You have to look at the career and what a goalkeeper does with consistency,” Farke said. “How Karl kept his nerve and his calm, how he performed at the end of last season during the crunch-time period, I think that was outstanding.
“In pre-season he looked unbelievably sharp, top fitness level, and also the games for his national team – many clean sheets in the last games. I’m not concerned at all. He will come in and I’m pretty sure he’ll deliver a top performance.
“We all trust Karl. He has all our confidence. He’s an experienced goalkeeper, he knows the Premier League inside and out, and he’s not a guy that cracks under pressure.”
