It is sure to be an emotional evening Friday as Anfield hosts a competitive match for the first time since the death of Diogo Jota, who played for Liverpool for the past five seasons. Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, were killed in a car accident in Spain last month.

As a club, Liverpool is still grieving the loss of Jota and it remains to be seen how the players are affected this season.

“The first time we arrive for a session, the first time we play a game, the first time after 20 minutes (Jota wore No. 20) they sing his song — all these things are difficult,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot said.
