The absence of Wirtz forced Slot to reshuffle his attacking structure against Chelsea. Slot deployed Dominik Szoboszlai, Rio Ngumoha and Jeremie Frimpong to support Cody Gakpo, who was plotted as a striker. Meanwhile, despite a difficult start to the season, Wirtz has slowly but surely proven his worth in the Premier League. So far, he has contributed 17 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions.
