Benitez doesn't give a shit about the integrity of the league, have a look at some of the line ups Liverpool had in the last few games of 06/07 when they rested half their team for the champions league final. Warnock wasn't happy with the team they had out at Fulham.

Chelsea played this team at Southampton when they lost 2-1:

1 (G) P Cech
 2 (D) B Ivanovic
 26 (D) J Terry
 28 (D) C Azpilicueta
 34 (D) R Bertrand
 8 (M) F Lampard
 11 (M) Oscar (76)
 12 (M) J Mikel (72)
 21 (M) M Marin (61)
Yellow card 9 (F) F Torres
 13 (F) V Moses
 
 22 (G) R Turnbull
 3 (D) A Cole
 4 (D) D Luiz
 7 (M) Ramires (72)
 17 (M) E Hazard (61)
 30 (M) Y Benayoun (76)
 29 (F) D Ba

Think we're likely to see that on Saturday if they beat Spurs, can't see the likes of Mata and Hazard playing if there's a euro final 4 days away, Hazard was absent today anyway.

I think Demba Ba will play as he is ineligible for europa.

5 points better off than my original prediction.  I'm sticking to my guns.  The Norwich result has saved us.
