Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says it is "not my problem" if he distorts the battle for Champions League places by fielding under-strength teams next week.
They face Aston Villa on Sunday before hosting Leicester on Tuesday.
Solskjaer says it is "impossible" to pick his strongest squad in every game.
United will face Liverpool - who, in seventh place, are seven points outside of the top four with a game in hand - just 50 hours after they play Leicester.
They only need four points from their last five matches to confirm their Champions League place.
