Liverpool will take on former captain Steven Gerrard this weekend, as the ex-England man brings his Aston Villa side to Anfield.
For Gerrard, it’s the first chance for him to show his cards against his former club. The midfielder spent his entire career with Liverpool, and is guaranteed a good reception from the Reds faithful. So far, since taking over at Aston Villa, Gerrard has taken nine points from twelve. Of course, he’ll be looking to continue that this weekend.

And Gerrard’s cause might have been boosted thanks to team news from Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp confirmed in his press conference today that Diogo Jota could be missing through injury. The Portuguese star has been key this term, scoring eight Premier League goals already.
Roberto Firmino is back in training, so Jota’s loss could at least be covered. However, that still hasn’t stopped Liverpool fans from expressing their disappointment at being without their dynamic striker. Over on Twitter, it’s safe to say the news about Jota hasn’t gone down well.
Here, then, is how some Liverpool fans reacted to the injury news regarding Diogo Jota.
