All the top teams need to rotate. Sometimes you have forced rotation due to injury or sometimes we have different demands in different games tactically.“I am happy that everyone is involved. When we have had to use someone who hasn’t played a lot of games, they have helped us. “The more players we have in a good place the easier my selection will be, even if it will be hard to leave players out.“There will definitely be changes but we want to win the game. We want to be competitive. We want to be in the next round. “We have been unlucky in the draw, playing Chelsea, and they’ve been unlucky also. But we want to earn the right to be in the draw again and that can only happen if you win.”
