Havertz to be dropped?
Arsenal icon Ian Wright has told Tuchel to drop German playmaker Kai Havertz for the Blues' trip to Anfield on Saturday, claiming that Jurgen Klopp's side would deal with him better than Arsenal did last weekend.
“They can’t play Havertz," Wright said on The Kelly & Wrighty Show.
"They (Chelsea) are not going to play like they played against Arsenal away from home because they could take liberties with Arsenal, because Arsenal’s lack of organisation, they won’t do this against Liverpool.”

Then, when asked if his client could consider a return to Serie A, Santos replied: “Obviously, yes. When you win a European Championship with Italy, the next step can be to play in Italy.
