But the Blues striker admits he doesn't expect Reds fans to give him a ride in Saturday's big match.

Jota was killed, alongside his brother Andre Silva, in a car crash on July 3.

In the wake of the tragedy, Beto, and Everton's other Portuguese-born player at the time, Youssef Chermiti, joined club ambassador Ian Snodin in presenting a floral tribute by Liverpool's ground, with Blues boss David Moyes and his assistant Alan Irvine among others making a similar gesture.
