“Federico Chiesa can play in that position as well, so I have the chance to maybe, I wouldn’t say rest him, but take him off if he’s completely tired.” Slot has been consistently hesitant to use Chiesa this season, only handing him 151 minutes of Premier League action, none of which were from the start.

“And those are the two games we’ve won, so that’s what you get with a low-scoring sport. Almost every time, but in the last two games, I wouldn’t say we don’t deserve it, but it was more of an equal game than many other games that we’ve lost.
