Jürgen Klopp prepares surprise clash with Manchester City

For the next Premier League game against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp must move his pieces well if he wants to beat the Spaniard once again, as the Red's won the last meeting between them in a resounding manner, which was the final of the FA Community Shield, where the German coach read the scheme of the Citizens well and beat them 3-1.

For Klopp, the issue of injuries has been a constant headache, with Alexander-Arnold being one of the most sensitive losses, as he will not only lose a defender for a few weeks, but also an attacking player who is known for his assists. That's where Portuguese Diogo Jota comes in, who after returning from injury in the Merseyside derby, has been getting few but consistent minutes for the Reds.

Jota, who arrived at Anfield in September 2020 for a fee of 33 million euros, plus variables, was the third signing of the summer for Klopp, who in that time also signed Kostas Tsimikas and Thiago Alcantara. The Portuguese striker left Wolverhampton to join the ranks of the biggest club in England and the world, and in his words on the day of his presentation at Anfield, there's nothing better than hearing "You'll never walk alone".

Diogo Jota is an essential player for Portugal coach Fernando Santos, who said the Liverpool player needs more minutes to be fit for the World Cup in Qatar. Jota not only plays as an attacking midfielder, but also as an assister. With Portugal Jota in combination with Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, has made players like Joao Felix, Rafael Leao or even Cristiano Ronaldo himself, shine on the field.

Diogo Jota, the secret weapon

The 25-year-old has teamed up well with superstar Mohamed Salah, with both starring in a humiliating 7-1 win over Rangers FC. Diogo assisted three times for the Pharaoh, who left Glasgow with the game ball by scoring three goals, all in the second half. Jota is a multi-functional player who has received good reviews in his time at Atlético de Madrid, FC Porto and of course at Wolves, where according to figures, he was at his best.
