marinabays Liverpool boss Arne Schlott has hinted he could rotate some players for Saturday’s home game against Southampton.

The Reds have just come from a tough battle with Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie, where they were at a disadvantage throughout the match but scored the winning goal late in the game to take the lead in the first leg.

With Tuesday’s second leg and the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United next weekend, the clash with bottom-of-the-table Saints is a good opportunity to give some of the players who haven’t started much time a chance to get a chance. marinabays

“If I decide to play other players, it is because it is the best chance to win tomorrow, not because I want to rest them for the game against PSG.

“If there was a gap of 3, 4, 5 days between the last game and this one, I would choose to field the same 11 players again, even if there was only a gap of 2 days before the next game.

“With only two days off and we’ve had to fight hard and it’s not our first game after not playing for three or four weeks, it’s probably our 50th game in three months, I don’t know the exact number.

“You have to take that into account, but you have to look at the quality of the teams you play against. You have to look at the form of the players, their fitness, the players who play best together.” ( marinabays )
