Ronald Koeman hints at Southampton rotation for Ipswich Town trip

Ronald Koeman says that he might rest a number of his best Southampton players for the FA Cup trip to Ipswich after consolidating their top-four place recently.

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has hinted that he may rest a number of his key players in tonight's FA Cup third-round replay away to Ipswich Town.

The Saints ended a 27-year hoodoo on Sunday by beating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford - a win that saw them move third in the Premier League table.

Consequently, the Dutchman admits that a top-four finish is his priority and insists that he will not be pressured into fielding his best XI against the Tractor Boys.

"The United win will bring a lot of confidence to the players. We know this will be a tough game and I wasn't happy about the replay because we already play a lot," he told Sky Sports News.

"But if we have started it like we have, then perhaps it is not so difficult.

"Of course, we would like to go on in the FA Cup, but that is not the most important thing - the most important thing is the league. But if the players are feeling well and they have good freshness, then I won't change a lot."

Morgan Schneiderlin cancelled out Darren Ambrose's opener in the 1-1 draw at St Mary's 10 days ago.
