No one can predict what will happen next season. However, I believe Liverpool might be affected if they don't get a good striker to replace Jota. City has bought three new players to add to the squad. That shows that they're ready for next season. Arsenal will also be the runner up club, because they lack a good center forward.
Liverpool were trying to build a very strong squad this season. And also made some big transfers. We were discussing that Liverpool's squad will be very difficult for any team to stop this season. But Jota's accident changed all the scenarios. Jota was one of the most important players in the Liverpool squad.
Now we are waiting to see which player the Liverpool management adds to the squad as a replacement for Jota. Liverpool management is rich, and we can see that the management is willing to spend a big amount of money. So Liverpool will definitely try to find a worthy replacement for Jota
The only way they would be affected is if teammates that were very close to Jota start the new season with emotions asides that Liverpool's squad is very strong the dead of Jota won't affect their attack much cause Jota is not the only player they rely on for goal. It's good for Liverpool's that such incident happened when the transfer window is still very far from closing so there's lots of time to scout a good replacement for Jota.
