Forward Jota, a father of three, was killed in a car crash in Spain in July, alongside his brother Andre Silva, with Liverpool retiring the number 20 shirt in his honor.
The champions started the season with seven straight wins in all competitions but are now eight points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal after their dramatic slump.
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said he could not get Jota “out of my head” in the hours before Scotland’s World Cup qualifying decider against Denmark this week, which they won.
