Yes Liverpool do not want to take a bigger risk for their regular players, they also have to compete again in the Premier League at the weekend to maintain their position, therefore they must win and relieve their main players, so with this result it will not be a problem for Liverpool even if they lose.

At the moment Liverpool are losing 2-1 only in the first half of possession the ball is still in favor only one shot they gave, this I think the regular players will play at least 20 minutes towards the end of the match but that will not be many regular players who enter of course Jurgen Klopp will maintain with a sober game.

Maybe in the second half there is still hope of turning things around.
