Brendan Rodgers has urged those players he selects tonight against Shrewsbury to stake their own claims for a Premier League place<\/p>\n
The Swansea CIty manager is expected to make several changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Wigan on Saturday at the Liberty as the Swans enter the Carling Cup at Shrewsbury this evening.<\/p>\n
The likes of Alan Tate, Joe Allen and Mark Gower are likely to be given their chances tonight and give the manager a selection headache for the visit of Sunderland to the Liberty on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Also back in contention this evening should be Garry Monk as he makes his return from injury as the Swans look to seal their progress into Round Three.<\/p>\n
“Of course we know what our priorities are but the team that plays will still be a very, very good side.” said Rodgers <\/p>\n
“I’ve players waiting to come in and they are players I still want to feel are very much part of the group.<\/p>\n
“They work tirelessly every day and it is important to keep that motivation there and make sure they get the game time under competition.<\/p>\n
“Everyone in the squad is equal, it just depends on how I want to use them.<\/p>\n
“I also have to respect the players who got us up last season.<\/p>\n
“So we will make changes for Shrewsbury but it certainly will not be a weakened side.<\/p>\n
“When we spoke with the players before the start of the season one of the main objectives was obviously to stay in the Premier League but also to have a good run in the cups.<\/p>\n
“Their ambitions matched my own and I would like to win every game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
