Van Dijk, Jota, Firmino recovery from injury put smiles on the faces of fans

Jurgen Klopp deserves some luck and it looks like his Liverpool side have finally gotten it, with an unlikely triple boost that will boost their first four chances.

Diogo Jota appears to be the star closest to a comeback, while Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk are also not far from returning to play. The Reds are in desperate need of reinforcements in a league where the club are winless in 2023 after a dismal performance at Molineux last week.

With a clash against Everton looming, there’s no better time for Liverpool to score wins. Of course, while the form suggests players like Chelsea have no chance of making the top four this season, it will only be a matter of time before the signings start clicking through. The performances of Enzo Fernández and João Félix indicate the first signs of understanding and Graham Potter’s side are 16 games away.

For Spurs, who are without Yves Bissouma this season, the north London club are now anxiously awaiting Rodrigo Bentancur, who suffered a serious injury during the terrible defeat to Leicester. Conte has seen the challenge come into his hands due to the pressure on his defensive style of play, and that factor looks set to play into Liverpool’s hands.

This triple advantage of losing points against rivals is obviously only relevant if Liverpool can take advantage of the situation. Performance so far in 2023 indicates things should improve, but at a time when the Reds need luck, the dominoes could finally fall in Klopp’s favour. Luis Díáz isn’t too far from a return and, alongside the obvious advantages he adds to the starting XI, the Colombia international can also help Cody Gakpo settle into Merseyside more quickly.

As Liverpool prepare for the final stages of the Premier League season, there are positives to report amid a storm that has damaged the confidence of some. The season that threatened to derail an injury crisis instead stayed on track, albeit with a little help from other results.

And given the performance of Klopp’s side over recent seasons, it’s an element of deserved luck after the misfortune that saw Liverpool miss out on two Premier League titles by a single point. It is still up to Klopp and the team to capitalize, but a lifeline is the least this team needs.
