With injuries to key players and crucial Premiership and Champions League games in the near future, Benitez is hoping his youngsters repeat their performance against Millwall in the last round of the competition.

"I will use all the youngsters. I have the same idea as against Millwall," said the Liverpool boss. "Igor Biscan and Salif Diao will play. Xabi and others will rest.

"We have to think of all the competitions and it would be impossible to do well in them all with the same players every game.

"I think the fans would agree with me that in terms of importance, it's the Premiership, then Champions League, then the FA Cup and then the Carling Cup.

"We want to win all the tournaments, but there are priorities. I won't take risks in the Carling Cup, especially now we have lost Baros, although I think he'll be back next week."
