Liverpool to rest Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez for Europa League clash against Young Boys of Bern If I lose some of my key players that can make it very difficult for us for the next two or three months. There were parts of the game against Arsenal (after their Europa League play-off last month) where we were a bit leggy so we have to make sure we are all firing for Sunday. No matter what the perception is I know in my own mind I've brought a team here which has a mixture of experience and talented young players. I am fully aware that when you pull on a Liverpool shirt you are expected to win the games so I've brought a team I believe can win the game. Rodgers is effectively gambling with the Europa League in an attempt to safeguard Liverpool's league form, a decision brought about more out of necessity than design. The Northern Irishman's summer recruitment was not extensive and so he does not have that many options and their difficult start to the season where they have gained just two points from four games has compounded matters. It means he is putting faith in the likes of players who have been in the youth and reserve set-up for a while without having forced themselves into the first team. However, Rodgers remains confident they can do a job for him alongside the more senior players. "You never actually know about young players until you actually put them in this situation but we have a good mixture as well," he added. We have experienced international players and some very talented youngsters so I'm very much looking forward to the game. I've brought young players who I feel, from what I've seen in the early part of the season, can come in and contribute. While the youngsters are just looking for a chance to earn a longer stay in the squad Rodgers insists some of the more senior players can still stake a claim for Sunday's clash against United. He accepts, however, it is more about keeping them sharp enough to be able to slot in when needed. Brad Jones will play tomorrow. He has been first class. He hasn't had a look in at all this season but he has come in and worked well," he said. Guys like Jamie Carragher have been phenomenal. To see how he works and his passion to play for Liverpool is really encouraging and he is a great role model for players here. They are going to be up to speed in terms of games as the Europa League gives them chance to play. Boys like Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing have all been working hard in training and they will get minutes under their belts so if they are required to play they will be up to speed. Nuri Sahin needs games to get up to speed and they all need to keep ticking over because they're important players. There is no question why they can't be involved at the weekend. The idea is for the squad to be small as it keeps players who are just on the outside the motivation that they still have an opportunity. Liverpool have also revealed that the club plans to pay a number of tributes to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and their families at Sunday's game. The fixture against United will be the first time Brendan Rodgers' side have played at Anfield since the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report into the 1989 tragedy which claimed the lives of 96 supporters. The report exonerated fans from blame and exposed the extent to which South Yorkshire Police went in order to discredit supporters. Families of the victims now hope they can achieve the justice they have been searching for during the last 23 years, starting with a new inquest and possibly pursuing legal action. Clubs up and down the country have shown their support for the campaign over the last week and now Liverpool will do so on their home ground. Rival captains Steven Gerrard and Nemanja Vidic will release 96 balloons shortly before kick-off in memory of those who died and there will also be several crowd mosaics. 'The Truth' will be displayed on the Kop, the Lower Centenary Stand will carry the word 'Justice' and the Anfield Road end will bear the number 96. "It is our first home game and the clubs have been working very hard to commemorate the work which has gone on with all the families," said manager Brendan Rodgers. Sunday's match also raises the prospect of Luis Suarez, banned for eight matches last season after being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, facing the Frenchman again but sources have already intimated there will be no repeat of February's incident at Old Trafford when the Uruguay international refused to shake his opponent's hand. Liverpool provisional squad to face Young Boys: Jones, Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Enrique, Shelvey, Sahin, Henderson, Downing, Yesil, Morgan, Gulacsi, Robinson, Coady, Suso, Sterling, Pacheco, Assaidi.
