I’m hoping he’s employing some mind games here, in Carlo’s presser he jokingly asked if there were any Liverpool fans present, so maybe , knowing that Carlo would see his presser, he would allude to make changes irrespective of the opposition and history of this fixture,
I’m not convinced Jürgen would weaken our chances of progressing, especially against local rivals, if it were again anyone else , maybe, but not that shitty wee club over the park, and also, as been pointed out, it’s a week or so before we batter Maureen’s mediocre Spuds, so time enough for recovery.

In the Carabao I remember thinking he'd make changes [against Arsenal] but he went even further than I thought he would.
There's a decent break to Spuds but it's not just that, there's avoiding injuries to players, and also for title chasers/top4 challengers in the PL, and CL knockout stage, there's already a lot of games there and need to be playing strongest teams as much as possible in them, nevermind other competitions.
Utd and Wolves ended up 0-0, and now have to have a replay - reckon Jürgen would want that like a hole in the head.
It's a pity, but with money in the PL and CL, it's the way things have gone.
But let's see what team he picks, then we'll know what he thinks...
