Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, has revealed that he won’t rest his top players for the weekend’s Premier League action when they host Young Boys in a Europa League match on Thursday.
The Merseyside outfit currently holds the second position in Group A, having secured 6 points from their 4 matches, and trail leaders Anzhi Makhachkala by a single point.
If Rodgers’ men are able to seal all three points on Thursday and Anzhi goes on to beat Udinese, the Reds will qualify for the next round.
Earlier, Liverpool recorded a commanding 5-3 win over the Swiss side in September in Bern, even though the manager opted to rest some of his key players for the fixture.
Although the team have got a difficult game against Swansea City coming at the weekend, the Ulsterman revealed that he won’t be interested in making too many changes for the Young Boys tie.
He said that he was wary of the team’s packed schedule over the next couple of weeks, and will look to form a good blend of youth and experience to see them through it.

“Out there [in Bern, where Liverpool won 5-3], we never took http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and one or two other players but they'll all be involved,” he told the reporter.
“We'll have a strong team. I will make changes in the game - I have to respect that we've got a really busy schedule now over the course of the next 10 days.”
Rodgers has experienced a turbulent first few months at the Anfield office, since taking over the management in June. The Reds have already crashed out of the Capital One Cup and have been far from convincing in the league.
Even though the fans and the owners will be more concerned about how the team fares in the league, the former Swansea City boss voiced his desire to do well in the Europa League as well.
“That's always been our intention - to qualify. We'll put out a team that we feel can win the game,” he added.
Liverpool will play their last group game against Udinese on the 6th of December.
