Liverpool manager has promised to put out a strong team against Young Boys in Thursday's Europa League game at Anfield.

Rodgers has so far used his senior players sparingly in the competition, but is set to give the likes of Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez a run out against the Swiss side, with Liverpool equal on points with their opponents, on six each.

Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala top the group with seven points, while Udinese are surpisingly bottom on four.

"Out there, we never took Steven Gerrard and one or two other players but they'll all be involved tomorrow night," Rodgers told reporters.

"We'll have a strong team. I will make changes in the game - I have to respect that we've got a really busy schedule now over the course of the next 10 days.

"From tomorrow we'll have four games in 10 days, and that's a big ask to keep the same group of players playing in all of those.

"But it's an opportunity for us tomorrow night, all being well we'll get the result and if the other result goes with us, we'll be able to navigate our way through the group.

"That's always been our intention -- to qualify. We'll put out a team that we feel can win the game.

"You want to be in these competitions, as a manager and a coach and a player you want to be playing in European competition. It will be easier for us going forward once we've supplemented the group and I've got the right strength in depth.

"The competition has been fantastic, we've got some good results in it, some excellent performances, and we've gained some young players out of it. Our focus is to win the game and if we can qualify at the end of it, it will be a good night.

"I know what my priority is but I also respect the competition and I want to go through in the competition so we'll be out tomorrow night to win the game and it's up to ourselves to do that."

Rodgers, however, ruled out the return of Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva. "The injured players are returning very quickly," he added. "Lucas Leiva is back in training but he won't be involved in the game on Thursday night. He will play a reserve game on Friday but he looks very good.

"All the players have been coming through. The group is very healthy and very strong."
