“He will help us against Liverpool” “Please start him” – Enzo Maresca told to start £52m what he did for his country Chelsea player
Following the international break, Chelsea will face Liverpool at Anfield.
Chelsea’s attack is currently on fire, so this might be a goal-filled contest. Despite just scoring one goal against Nottingham Forest last time out, the Blues are the Premier League’s second-highest scorers this season.
Nicolas Jackson, who has four goals in seven games, has contributed to this. The Senegalese media were unimpressed with Jackson’s overall performance against Malawi on Friday, although he has done well for Chelsea this season.
However, now could be a good time for Enzo Maresca to drop the striker and give Christopher Nkunku a start up front in the Premier League.
Christopher Nkunku scores for France
Nkunku grabbed his first goal for France in their 4-1 win against Israel on Thursday, and it was a really well-taken one.
The 26-year-old spun past a few of Israel’s defenders before slotting the ball into the back of the net for Didier Deschamps’ side.
It is one reason why Maresca should at least consider starting Nkunku against Liverpool next Sunday, but it is not the only one.
Jackson has not scored for Chelsea since his brace against West Ham United last month, whereas Nkunku has had no trouble netting in the cup games he has been starting in.
