Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has made a big shout ahead of his team taking on Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this evening!
Pochettino will face Jurgen Klopp tonight in what is a big game for both sides, as is every game in this league.
EXCLUSIVE! All the transfer deals, plans, and potential ins and outs that Chelsea HAVE been considering this window!
Pochettino has seemingly been quite vocal in recent weeks and months about lacking a proven goalscoring number 9 in his squad, and it looks like he is still not going to be given one this month.
However, he does have the boost of having one of two of his only number 9’s in his squad back early from AFCON and hopefully in the squad tonight, in the shape of Nicolas Jackson’s return after Senegal got knocked out of the competition.
Pochettino has been speaking about that situation in his pre-match press conference yesterday afternoon, with these latest embargoed quotes only coming out late last night.
As cited by The Evening Standard, Pochettino said:
“We are seeing [if it is possible for Nicolas Jackson to be involved tonight]. Maybe it will happen. If it means we have a one percent more chance to win the game, for sure, we will try it.
“We are waiting. All I can say is that maybe he will be there. The other day, Ghana lost and were out, and Inaki Williams arrived a few hours before and played in the second half to beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.
“Why can’t Jackson arrive and score the winning goal?”
