I'VE often described the Carling Cup as a competition which can be a catalyst to a club's season.
Everton have already made such a great start to the season that they don't need a catalyst, but equally the Blues are not in a position yet where tomorrow night's tie with Preston can be described as a nuisance.
The Carling Cup still offers Everton's best chance of success this season.
If I was David Moyes I would be tempted to make one or two changes, maybe just rest a couple of players feeling the effects from Saturday, but I certainly wouldn't even consider the kind of wholesale changes Liverpool are making tonight.
