From the source
Andoni Iraola is not about to start apologising for changing his team, and after a Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea followed swiftly by a league trip to face Arsenal, he has every reason to keep trusting the approach that has defined his time at Anfield so far.
The head coach has not repeated a starting eleven in consecutive matches all season, and across his last seven games he has made at least three changes every single time.
Speaking ahead of the Chelsea tie, Iraola described squad rotation as close to mandatory in the current calendar, pointing to the demands of playing every few days across multiple competitions.
