"It's difficult to do the right things by everyone. I'm sure the teams in the middle of the table will try to use some young players, or players who haven't played a lot during the season because it needs to be decided if they get new contracts," said the Liverpool boss.
"If you play against Watford, and I have a lot of respect for them, but now they are relegated I don't think they'll play with the same players now as three months ago, because they'll be thinking about preparing for the future.
"I think it will be similar with a lot of teams. We'll try to do our best, we'll use a good team with senior players, but we will try to use our squad.
"We need to think about the final but we also want to finish third. We will do a professional job, but everybody needs to understand that our priority is the final."
