“Not Palmer but he’s the best player in Premier League this season so far… I’m scared of only him”: Liverpool coach Arne Slot names ONE PARTICULAR Chelsea player who all his players are so scared to face on Sunday
Enzo Maresca has a defensive puzzle to solve as Chelsea head to Anfield to take on Liverpool this weekend without the suspended pair of Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana.
Just seven games into the Premier League season, both players have already amassed five yellow cards and will therefore serve a one-match ban when the Blues meet Arne Slot’s in-form side on Sunday.
Fofana and Cucurella have both started every league game to this point and Maresca will no doubt be frustrated at having to rejig a settled defence for such a big game.
Summer signing Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi are the main contenders to take Fofana’s place at centre-back, while Cucurella’s absence could see Renato Veiga redeployed or even a first league appearance of the season for Ben Chilwell.
