Arne Slot says Liverpool have missed Diogo Jota being at his best following the forward’s return to the scoresheet with his Merseyside derby winner.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is hopeful Omari Hutchinson's absence will be short after the forward was ruled out of the FA Cup fifth-round trip to Nottingham Forest and possibly more matches.

Virgil van Dijk has played a significant role in the vast majority of his 300 Liverpool appearances but conceded there were two other influential Dutchmen who were helping their current challenge for the Premier League and Champions League.
