Scores again Jota scored once on one shot during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Arsenal.
Impact Jota was invisible for the first 55 minutes of Wednesday's win, his first touch inside the box ended up in the back of the net though. Jota is the Premier League's second top-scorer and has shown a lethal touch whenever he is given a chance. Next up is a Sunday clash with Manchester United.

Comes off bench against Hammers Jota took one shot (off target) and received a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win over West Ham.
Impact Jota had missed the past two league matches due to injury but was able to come off the bench as Liverpool saw out the end of the match. With Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in great form, it'll be interesting to see if Jota can usurp Luis Diaz for a starting role in Tuesday's match against Inter Milan.

Subs on in Carabao Cup Jota (ankle) subbed into Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea in the 80th minute and he played 40 minutes after extra time and penalties in the victory.
Impact Jota took a shot and converted his penalty in the shootout after replacing Sadio Mane at center forward at the 80th minute of Sunday's game. He has another week to get fully fit before Liverpool's next Premier League game against West Ham.

Facing late fitness test Jota (ankle) has been returned to training with Liverpool and will be questionable for Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea.
Impact Jota suffered an ankle injury during last week's Champions League win over Inter and has missed Liverpool's last two Premier League games. Assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders said Friday that he "isn't ruled out but still it will be a challenge" for him to return at the weekend. With Roberto Firmino (strain) still out, Divock Origi would be the most likely candidate to fill in at center forward if Jota can't be fit in time, or we could see another front three of wingers with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz once again.

Liverpool strikers Jota, Firmino big doubts for cup final

Still not training Jota (ankle) hasn't been training and is considered a doubt for Sunday's Cup final against Chelsea, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "No, for tomorrow, no chance, and then [for]...
Impact This was expected to be the case for Jota when he went down with the injury last week and there's a chance this gets extended another week or so. Luis Diaz is a capable replacement, but Liverpool have a lot of matches in a short amount of time, so it doesn't help that their other two forwards are missing time at the moment.

Impact This update isn't too surprising after Jota was seen with a boot Wednesday. The hope is that it doesn't turn into a long-term injury even if Liverpool have other options to use in his place. His absence will likely mean a chance for either Roberto Firmino or Luis Duiz to start against Norwich and then probably again versus Leeds.

Picks up ankle issue Jota was forced off after the break with a swollen ankle in Wednesday's win against Inter Milan, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact The substitution was initially believed to be tactical, but Klopp revealed after the match that Jota was playing through a bad ankle. Given the busy schedule, it's likely he'll miss time in the coming week, especially with a healthy Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz at Liverpool's disposal.

Held in check by Inter Jota took one off-target shot, won one tackle and three duels and had one successful take-on in 45 minutes in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Inter.
Impact Jota did not have much success in the first half and the coach pulled him at half-time to insert Roberto Firmino, who hit the net. The two will likely alternate going forward. He has scored twice and posted 12 shots, five chances and six crosses in the last five appearances. Liverpool will host Norwich City Saturday.
