Liverpool to commemorate Jota at Preston friendly

Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva will be commemorated with a number of tributes at Liverpool's friendly at Preston North End on Sunday.

Portugal forward Jota and Silva died in a car crash last week in the Spanish province of Zamora.

Liverpool's match at Deepdale is their first since Jota's passing, which the club described as an "unimaginable loss".

There will be a rendition of Liverpool's anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, while Preston captain Ben Whiteman will lay a wreath in front of the away fans.

The Lillywhites will pay pre-match tributes and have created a commemorative edition of the matchday programme.
