The victory against City was particularly impressive as Villa restricted the champions to just two shots on target, both of which came in the opening 15 minutes, and racked up 22 attempts on goal, the most shots they have conceded in a Premier League match under Pep Guardiola at the time.
Villa’s run was the joint fourth-longest winning sequence in Premier League history.Jota has only just come back from a two-month layoff, making his first start since February against Fulham on Sunday, and scoring in the 3-1 win.
“Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it’s a little bit more,” Jurgen Klopp told the club’s official website in his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Everton. “So he will be out for two weeks.
Jürgen Klopp reveals Diogo Jota injury
“I cannot really say a lot about it, to be honest. Before [a recent] game where he didn’t start, he got a knock – normal challenge, then felt a little bit at the hip. That was then fine because we didn’t start him, brought him on, that was alright.
“Then he started the last game, was obviously OK and then with the finish… it’s a small one but we are late in the season, so obviously now it’s not a great moment for each injury pretty much.
“It’s not a big one. When I say two weeks, actually really it’s pretty much nothing but enough to not be available.”Combined with Ange Postecoglou’s decision to put Dejan Kulusevski (£6.7m) on the bench, this has forced a reassessment of the Spurs attack, with Brennan Johnson (£5.8m) and Timo Werner (£6.3m) the main beneficiaries.
Johnson has started five of those six matches, scoring twice and supplying a pair of assists to collect 30 points.
Listed as a forward in Fantasy, Werner has started each of Spurs’ last four matches as a left-winger. He has mirrored the one goal of playmaker James Maddison (£7.8m), while also producing two assists to pick up 21 points.
Pedro Porro (£5.8m) just edges out Werner for third place in the analysis over the last six matches thanks to his potential for returns at both ends of the pitch. The full-back has combined a goal and a clean sheet with four bonus points to total 23 points.
