Brendan Rodgers is expected to ring the changes again in the FA Cup with trips to Arsenal and Manchester City to follow in the Premier League, although Liverpool's second half display at Mansfield serves as a warning against complacency. Oldham's surprise win at Nottingham Forest in the third round is their only victory in any competition since 8 December. Seven defeats in eight league games have sent Paul Dickov's team sliding towards the relegation zone but the manager hopes the tie offers more than just financial redemption for the struggling League One club.
