Slot just made huge Federico Chiesa call ahead of AC Milan game

The former Juventus player has not yet made his debut for Arne Slot’s team, with the Merseysiders boasting remarkable depth in their attacking lineup.

The Merseysiders will be aiming to correct their course after a disappointing performance against Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

We are open to unexpected selections in Italy, but it would be quite a bold move to see Chiesa listed on the teamsheet before our Champions League match against Paulo Fonseca’s team.

We believe the 26-year-old is more likely to wait another week for his chance or be given only a brief stint in first-team competitive play to spark his interest.

Paulo Fonseca, AC Milan’s new manager, has faced a tough beginning.

The 51-year-old coach has recorded one win, two draws, and one loss since starting with the Rossoneri, leaving the European giants in mid-table with just five points.

This is precisely the type of match we should seek to exploit after a disappointing performance on Saturday.

Although the San Siro atmosphere poses a challenge, if we demonstrate significant improvement tomorrow in Italy, we would bet on it being another extremely tough situation for Fonseca to manage.

Liverpool’s 23-man travelling squad: Alisson, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jaros, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Morton, Bradley.
