Federico Chiesa could become Liverpool’s saviour if he’s chosen to play against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening. Liverpool’s last two meetings with Palace have ended badly for the Anfield outfit with Oliver Glasner’s men winning both and leaving the reigning Premier League champions rather red-faced.

Federico Chiesa is one of Liverpool’s most in-form players at the momentLast week, Chiesa managed to win Liverpool’s player of the month award despite being out of favour with his manager. The Italy international has had a tough time of it since making the switch to Anfield, but no matter where or how often he’s been played, he’s always put in the most effort of any player on the pitch.

And, although it’s clear that Slot has his favourites in Gakpo and Salah, Wednesday’s game against Palace could be a turning point for the former Juventus man.The fact that he won Liverpool’s player of the month award and can be played anywhere across the front three means that there’s a big chance he could start the game against the Eagles on Wednesday. If he can put in a masterclass of a performance and take down Palace’s defensive line, he’d be able to more than prove his worth to Slot.
