Diogo Jota is keen to spearhead the rescue mission that can turn Anfield into home sweet home again.

The £45million Portuguese frontman is poised to start his first game in three months following the knee injury that coincided with the Premier League champs’ slump.

During his time away, Jurgen Klopp’s side plunged from top spot into a battle just to make the top four.

Having watched the roof fall in, Jota, 24, said: “We need to stay together and push from the same side.

“I hope that coming back will, let’s say, bring some freshness.

“I feel like I could be like a winter transfer.

“That’s what I hope, so they can rely on me and think I can help them in the future.”
