Jurgen Klopp explains his decision to keep Diogo Jota on the bench

 

Jurgen Klopp decided to line up with his usual front three in persons of Mane, Salah and Firmino as Liverpool locked horn with Wolves on Sunday as Diogo Jota drop to the bench.

"It is not long ago since he played for Wolves and he can get the feeling for how it is to play against wolves from the bench. A great option to bring onto the pitch [tonight]," Jurgen Klopp told Amazon Video Prime explaining why Diogo Jota was not included in the starting XI for today's game.

The Portuguese forward started on the bench despite having scored 9 goals in his first 15 appearances for Liverpool and also knowing Wolves too well after a 3-year spell there.
