The Liverpool forward has been in remarkable shape lately, having scored six goals in his last four games in all competitions, including a hat-trick at Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Jota’s form has resulted in a lot of people asking Jürgen Klopp to start him against Roberto Firmino on Sunday’s trip to Manchester City. This move would be extremely symbolic given the status of the top three spots in Liverpool over the past three seasons.
And the former Wolfman seemed eager to impress at a Melwood training session on Thursday.
A little too spicy maybe.
While Liverpool’s players conducted a fast-paced rondo, Andy Robertson excitedly passes the ball through Gomez and James Milner to Jota, who then absolutely picks it up … right in Gomez’s sub-regions.

The defender falls to the ground and doesn’t get too much sympathy from his laughing teammates, including a giggling Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane, before finally standing up and checking that everything is still working.
Jota looks a little embarrassed and goes to the central defender, but luckily any serious injury has been avoided.
One man who has no doubt that Jota should start in City over Firmino is Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

“Yes I would [start Jota]”Said Wright Premier League Productions .
“Bobby Firmino’s form on goal is something Liverpool need to address.
“He has to get all three to do it, and right now all three can do it. I would probably play it, yes.

“When they signed Jota, didn’t you think what they were getting it for?”
“You just left, ‘Ah, I get that. I can see that’.
“If you watch him over the last three games, you can see that he’s someone who really, really plays there. He will really compete. ”
