'We always know': Diogo Jota already makes claim about Stamford Bridge ahead of Sunday's game
Liverpool attacker Diogo Jota has claimed that his side believe they are in for a tough game when they face Chelsea in their Premier League opener.
He told the official club website that they know how dangerous the Blues are when they play at Stamford Bridge, as they will be on Sunday.
The Portugal international is pushing for a start in what is a very impressive set of attacking options that Jurgen Klopp has at his disposal ahead of this weekend’s game.
The Blues meanwhile are still facing a lot more uncertainty in their attack, with it unclear at this stage who will be starting the curtain-raiser.
One player that for sure will not be in that side is Christopher Nkunku, who was forced off in the final pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

This will leave Mauricio Pochettino scrambling for his replacement in the role behind Nicolas Jackson. It looks as if that may be filled by Carney Chukwuemeka at this stage.
Despite the big injury, Jota has claimed that Liverpool are still more than aware of the dangers Chelsea possess.
He said: “We feel that we want to show something different from last season. They have a new coach so they will start from scratch and they can be dangerous but we always know that playing at Stamford Bridge is not easy at all, so it will be a great start of the Premier League [season].”
The challenge of the Reds is set to be a great chance to see where the Blues are at going into next season.
They are going in off an unbeaten pre-season campaign, something which they have not been able to say since 2011.
