Hammers to test slot big summer signing federico chiesa

Federico Chiesa, Liverpool’s biggest summer signing, is scheduled to make his Carabao Cup debut tomorrow against West Ham at Anfield.

With a busy schedule ahead, Liverpool are expected to rotate their team considerably for the game. After fielding a rather stable lineup in

the first six games of the season, manager Arne Slot now faces the necessity to rest important players ahead of two more games this week.

Slot has confirmed that Chiesa is ready for his first start, and the Italian winger is expected to be featured in the lineup. Along with Chiesa,

the Reds’ starting eleven might include numerous inexperienced players, giving The Irons a rare opportunity to capitalise on Liverpool’s

tinkered squad.

This encounter could be critical for West Ham’s head coach, Julen Lopetegui, who is under increasing criticism as a result of the team’s

slow start this season. He may aim to take advantage of Liverpool’s rotating lineup. However, even a second-string Liverpool side will

pose a serious test, with some excellent players, making the Hammers’ task far from easy. Slot is likely to select Cody Gakpo and Diogo

Jota to supplement what is expected to be a young squad. Last season, West Ham were crushed 5-1 by Jurgen Klopp’s rotating side in the

same competition.
