Joyce shares word from inside Anfield about Slot’s plans for West Ham

Liverpool are set to begin our defence of the Carabao Cup against West Ham United and Paul Joyce has shared some information about the squad.

Reporting for The Times, the northern football correspondent stated: ‘Federico Chiesa is poised to make his full Liverpool debut on Wednesday night as Arne Slot said that defending the Carabao Cup was high on his list of priorities.’

It’s probably something that many Reds expected but it’s still great news to hear nonetheless, as we’re going to see our newest signing in action once again.

After a brief cameo against both AC Milan and Bournemouth, we’ve had a small chance to witness what the Italian has to offer but this will provide a much more detailed opportunity to assess his talents.

Federico Chiesa has looked nothing but thoroughly enthusiastic since arriving at the club near the end of the summer window and has won many supporters over already.

A first Anfield touch being a long distance volley at goal brought a wry smile to every fan and let’s hope that the 26-year-old can continue this love affair by scoring on a full debut.

Arne Slot will be hoping to replicate Jurgen Klopp’s success in the competition and that will mean that we should expect a strong side against Julen Lopetegui’s travelling party.

Let’s hope we can immediately get off to winning ways and stake our claim as one of the favourties to win the only trophy our former manager won more than once during his tenure on Merseyside.
