Liverpool's Roberto Firmino is in trouble with the law after being pulled over on Christmas Eve for drink driving, and his court date collides with a big fixture.

The Brazilian was arrested after being flagged by Police in Liverpool City Center in the early hours of the 24th, per Liverpool Echo.

Following his stupid behaviour, the 25-year-old will appear at Liverpool City Magistrates Court next month.

To be exact, Firmino is set to face the judge on January 31st. If that date rings the bell, well, it should. Because that's the same date Liverpool host Chelsea in what will be a battle for the Premier League.

"Roberto Firmino, from Liverpool, will appear at Liverpool City Magistrates Court on January 31st." A spokesperson from Merseyside Police said.

In the meantime, The Red's have an extra day of rest following Christmas as they take on Stoke City on Tuesday.
