Liverpool manager Arne Slot freely admitted that the five outfield players who were required to play every minute of the club’s previous three fixtures will not feature in the Carabao Cup third round against Southampton next week.
Slot leaned upon an experienced core for a trio of crunch clashes which resulted in three wins. The Reds were forced to wait until stoppage time to secure a hard-fought victory over Burnley in the Premier League last weekend before hosting Atlético Madrid in midweek.
