# Liverpool: Fans delighted as Diogo Jota news emerges

**Some Liverpool supporters are delighted after it emerged that Diogo Jota could play a part in the Reds’ crucial clash with Crystal Palace.**

The Reds face an enormous game on Sunday afternoon as a hugely challenging Premier League season reaches its conclusion. Jurgen Klopp’s men welcome Palace to Anfield, knowing that a win should [all but guarantee a place](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12276223/champions-league-europa-league-europa-conference-league-qualification-explained-who-will-be-playing-in-europe-next-season) in the top four unless Leicester City thrash Tottenham.

Liverpool have found a strong run of form just when they needed it, not losing in the league [since early March](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/spielplan/verein/31) and picking up crucial victories against West Brom and Burnley in the last week.

Jota was [expected to miss out](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57136178) for the remainder of the season, but [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/diogo-jota-injury-liverpool-palace/wJ6gYGsJG72i) now claim he could play a part in proceedings at Anfield today. If true, it would be a massive boost for Liverpool, potentially allowing the [prolific](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/340950) Portuguese to come on in the second half should a goal be needed, or if one of the front three is underperforming.
