Pre-Man City stats: Jota out to hit goalscoring streak last set by Salah
Diogo Jota is looking to score in his fifth consecutive game for Liverpool when they travel to Manchester City this afternoon.
Should he produce at Etihad Stadium in the 4.30pm GMT kick-off, the No.20 would become the first Red to net in five matches in a row since Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian achieved the feat for Jürgen Klopp's side back in March 2018 and went on to extend the sequence to seven.

Salah has four goals in his last eight appearances versus City in all competitions.
The No.11 has scored in his last three games in the league and cup for the first time since December 2019.
