Liverpool striker Diogo Jota admits they cannot afford another slip like defeat at Leicester City.

With 19 games still to play, Jota also believes that they have enough to time to overturn the current nine-point deficit between Liverpool and Manchester City.

But he warned his team-mates that they cannot afford a repeat of Tuesday's game if they are to keep pace with the runaway leaders.

“There are still a lot of games. Obviously there is a gap now between us and them. We know there is that gap but we also know we are able to close that gap and that's the plan," Jota said.

“But we need to avoid what happened against Leicester because if we keep doing the things we did in that game, it's going to be hard for us.

“We know that. So it's up to us to recover from that game, regroup and go again – because we are able to."
