Diogo Jota started this season as one of Liverpool 's most important players, but a warning from Jamie Carragher suggests he may be losing his fight for a place in the team.
The January signing of Luis Diaz has added new competition to Jurgen Klopp's forward options, with the Colombian starring since his arrival. Diaz has usually taken up the left wing role, with Mohamed Salah the clear starter on the right.
That leaves Jota and Sadio Mane battling to be selected through the middle, a fight the Senegal international has increasingly won in recent weeks. Jota was handed an opportunity to start on Tuesday when Liverpool travelled to Aston Villa.
