Diogo Jota is a huge fan favourite on the pitch at Liverpool, now midway through his fifth season at the club. He has been a part of very good sides under Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, though he has not achieved the team success his career has perhaps deserved.

However, as with any player, there are areas of Jota’s game that could be improved, and speaking to ESPN, the Liverpool star has claimed that he’d love to steal one of Darwin Nunez’s attributes. Indeed, the striker says that he wishes he was as quick as Nunez, claiming that the Uruguayan’s pace allows him to make things look so much easier.

Avoiding the play-offs, meanwhile, also ensures a clear week prior to travelling to Manchester City and hosting Newcastle in the space of four days in late February. For now, focus turns to overcoming Ipswich, who’ll be keen to recover from their 6-0 loss to City, this weekend.

Joe Gomez hasn’t featured for Liverpool since coming off against West Ham last month with a hamstring injury. The England international’s return date is unclear, with Slot saying Gomez was “quite far” away from a comeback when speaking ahead of the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota heaped praise on Mohamed Salah in an exclusive interview with ESPN, saying he should be considered one of the greatest players in the club's history.

Diogo Jota is facing “weeks” out after suffering a fresh injury setback, Arne Slot has confirmed. The Liverpool forward scored off the bench to earn Liverpool a point against Nottingham Forest last week, but he picked up an injury in that cameo and missed Saturday’s win over Brentford.

Diogo Jota could be fit enough to face Bournemouth on Saturday as Liverpool look to extend their lead in the Premier League title race. The Reds travel to the south coast with a six point advantage over Arsenal having played a game less.

Darwin Nunez was ill midweek as Liverpool played PSV in the Champions League while Curtis Jones limped off the week before against Lille. Arne Slot has the latest.
