Liverpool: How will injuries to Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz bite?

Arguably no “big six” club faces more questions than Liverpool but the absence of the two forwards looks like being key to Jurgen Klopp recovering from a disastrous opening to the season and pushing on for a top-four finish. Luis Diaz only arrived in January but instantly made his mark while Diogo Jota scored 15 times in the league last season. With the loss of Sadio Mane still being felt, the subtraction of their goals could prove fatal. Nearly as important remains the question over whether Fabinho can rediscover his form or Thiago Alcantara can stay fit long enough to help a struggling midfield.
