With Liverpool currently in the midst of a run of eight games in 21 days and with trips to Newcastle and Real Madrid within the next week, Jack Lusby takes a look at five players who need to be rested for the League Cup clash with Swansea on Tuesday night.
While the League Cup is hardly highest of priorities, this may represent Brendan Rodgers with his easiest route to European qualification amidst a rough and congested 2014/15 fixture list.
Offering up his previous employers Swansea City for the Fourth Round tie on Tuesday night, the competition adds further impetus for the Northern Irishman to go for the jugular at Anfield; the Welsh side defeated Rodgers’ Reds 3-1 in the cup in 2012.
Despite this, Rodgers must be wary that several of his players are in dire need of a rest, and the League Cup affords him the opportunity to field some of his fringe players and still hope for a result.
Furthermore, this rest period would allow some of Liverpool’s key players additional time to prepare for the upcoming double-header away to Newcastle United in the Premier League and Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Here are five players who need a rest against Swansea on Tuesday night.
