Jota’s plundered 21 goals in all competitions - which places him only second behind Mo Salah (28) at Anfield this season.

The Portugal international, however, suffered a knock in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp is optimistic that Jota, 25, will be fit.

The Reds will assess the forward’s injury today ahead of their huge clash against Man City at Wembley.

“Diogo has a slight knock but there is a good chance he will be all right - but we need to have a closer look tomorrow. That is it.”

Jota netted in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Man City in the Premier League title race at the Etihad Stadium last weekend.
