Surprise element? The possible news of coach Arne Slot at Liverpool to stay at the top of the Premier League

Portuguese forward Diogo Jota is poised to return to Liverpool's starting lineup. After beginning on the bench during Liverpool's partial victory over Leicester City at Anfield Road, the player is expected to be named in the starting eleven for the match against West Ham on Sunday (29th), away from home.

Manager Arne Slot has expressed his confidence in Jota and sees the Portuguese as a vital piece in the team's tactical scheme. The forward's pace, finishing ability, and versatility perfectly align with Liverpool's style of play.

It's anticipated that Jota will operate as a center-forward, forming a partnership with one of the other attackers in the squad, such as Mohamed Salah or Cody Gakpo. The Portuguese player's presence in the attack could bring more dynamism and unpredictability to Liverpool's team, as they strive to secure a place in the next edition of the Champions League.

Luis Díaz's injury has opened up an opportunity for Jota to return to the starting lineup. The Portuguese has previously demonstrated his importance to the team and will now have the chance to show that he is fully recovered and ready to help Liverpool achieve their goals.

The match against West Ham will be a significant test for both Jota and Liverpool. The London-based team is in good form and will be a tough opponent to beat. However, with Jota leading the attack, Liverpool will have a better chance of securing the three points.

Favorite of the fans

Liverpool fans have high hopes for Jota. The Portuguese is one of the fans' favorites and his return to the starting lineup is seen as excellent news. The expectation is that Jota can replicate the strong performances that have established him as one of Liverpool's key players.

The match between West Ham and Liverpool promises to be exciting. With Jota in the attack, Liverpool will have more opportunities to win the match and move closer to qualifying for the Champions League.
