The sons of former Liverpool and Wolves forward Diogo Jota will be matchday mascots when his two former sides meet at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
It will be an emotional day for his widow Ruti, after Jota lost his life alongside his brother Andre in a car crash in July.
Dinis and Duarte, two of Jota’s three children, will join the matchday mascots on the pitch before kick-off.
“Reflecting on everything that has happened over the last 12 months ignites a rollercoaster of emotions but it is normal at this time of year to look back to everything that has happened,” said Arne Slot in his matchday programme notes.
“Doing so leads me to think especially of the family of Diogo Jota on what will be their first Christmas without him.
“It is not my place to tell them where they should look for comfort – if that is even possible – but I can only hope that the feeling of love and affection that Diogo still generates brings them some solace.”
