Liverpool will dedicate the front cover of its matchday programme for Friday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth to Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva.
The Reds will continue to honor the Portuguese forward following his tragic death last month, with a range of tributes also set to be included in the special edition. The Premier League has also announced arrangements for tributes to be paid to Jota and his sibling ahead of all fixtures this weekend.
Friday's clash with the Cherries will mark the start of Liverpool's title defence, following on from last season's incredible success under Arne Slot, but also the club's first top-flight game without its 28-year-old striker.
Whilst tributes have been made at this summer's pre-season friendlies with Preston and Athletic Bilbao, along with last weekend's Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley, Friday's fixture is expected to be taken to an extra level.
"The first Liverpool FC matchday programme of the 2025-26 Premier League season features a range of tributes in memory of Diogo Jota," Liverpool posted to its official website on Wednesday.
"Friday's meeting with AFC Bournemouth is the first competitive fixture at Anfield since the tragic passing of the man who will forever be the club's number 20.

"The front cover of this edition is dedicated to Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who also died in the road traffic accident in July."
The first programme of the 2025-26 Premier League season will also feature quotes from summer signing Milos Kerkez as he prepares to face off against his former team, along with the usual pre-match thoughts of Slot and captain Virgil van Dijk.
However, the primary focus ahead of kick-off will be remembering Jota, just over six weeks on from his tragic death. Alongside a minute's silence, players will also don black armbands, whilst clubs will receive materials and visuals to showcase on their big screens.
The Premier League has gone to great lengths to ensure that this will be the case for all 10 fixtures taking place this weekend, following talks with Liverpool to establish the most appropriate method of remembering the Portuguese international.

On Sunday, tributes were offered to Jota and his brother before the Community Shield encounter between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Wembley, where floral arrangements were placed on the turf and a period of silence was held before kick-off.
Liverpool supporters had also displayed their respects with a rousing rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as the wreaths were brought onto the pitch, unveiling a white banner showing 'Diogo J' alongside the forward's image and squad number 20.
Just 24 hours before, Jota's former club, Wolves, paid its own touching tribute at Molineux ahead of the team's game against Celta Vigo, which included a floral wreath bearing Jota's name and number from his time at the club was created.
