Many were surprised during the week when Luis Diaz appeared as a substitute in Liverpool's 3-1 victory against Leicester in the third round of the Carabao Cup. What happened?

Is it because Jota is scoring more goals? Is he losing Klopp's confidence? None of that! The explanation lies in the schedule and the commitment this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. (Colombian time), none other than against Tottenham.

This is the match between the second and fourth teams in the table, in a season of great recovery for both teams and very ambitious goals.

Luis Diaz is expected to start in the red trident and that explains why he rested, as it is a rival that has gained a lot of defensive security, is undefeated like the team from Anfield and against whom they hope to improve the 15 goals scored so far this season.

Of course, it will be key that the goals against do not exceed the current 5, and that may be the concern, as Klopp's team has been quite vulnerable in their area.
