Cody Gakpo paid an emotional tribute to the late Diogo Jota as Liverpool prepare to play their first match at Anfield since the Portuguese's untimely death.

On July 3, Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, died when their car crashed in the early hours in northern Spain.

The 28-year-old forward had recently married his childhood sweetheart at a ceremony in his native Portugal following a campaign culminating in trophy-winning successes for both club and country.

After the incident Liverpool announced that Jota's No 20 would be immediately retired for all levels following consultation with his widow and his family.
