Dazzling Jota
Jurgen Klopp is delighted to have Diogo Jota fully fit and firing again for Liverpool.
Jota, 26, has netted four goals in his last two Premier League outings and will be looking to shoot down West Ham at the London Stadium tomorrow night.
Reds boss Klopp said: “He is an exceptional player, super smart, can play a lot of different positions. He has super interesting skills for an attacking player.
“Diogo this season had a really bad [calf] injury that kept him back, nothing else. If he stays fit he is an outstanding player.
“When you are that long injured you need rhythm, it is an ongoing season and nobody waits for you — that is the most difficult thing.”
FA Cup kick-off dispute
The FA Cup final will kick off no later than 4.45pm on June 3 after the Metropolitan Police deemed the Manchester derby at Wembley to be a high-risk fixture.
No decision has yet been taken regarding the kick-off time for the match between Manchester City and neighbours United but the police will not sanction a 5.30pm start.
United’s penalty shootout victory over Brighton set up the first Manchester derby in a final in the competition’s 151-year history.
ITV are preparing to screen the match and the Epsom Derby on the same day.
The race had been due to start at 4.30pm but neither the Jockey Club or broadcaster have confirmed whether the Met advice regarding the Cup final would affect their scheduling.
Have faith in Kane
Harry Redknapp believes Harry Kane will stick around at Tottenham.
The England skipper, 29, is out of contract next summer and has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United at the end of the season.
But former Spurs boss Redknapp has not given up hope of Kane extending his stay in North London.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: “Harry is so good. If he went to Man Utd, you could see them possibly winning the title.
“That is the difference he could make to a team. He’s a leader, a great footballer.
“I think he’ll stay at Tottenham — his life is good. I wouldn’t be surprised if he signed a new contract.”
