Rodgers in last-chance saloon

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that the Europa League is his side's last chance of salvaging something from another disappointing season.

Monday's home defeat to West Brom all but ended the Reds' hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League and they crashed out of the FA Cup at Oldham Athletic last month and to Swansea City in the Capital One Cup. However, Liverpool will not find it easy in their last-32 first-leg Europa League clash at Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg. Liverpool are 14/1 with bet365 to win 2-0 at the Petrovsky Stadium against a Zenit side that is 201/ to clinch this season's Europa League. "My only consideration is for this game," said Rodgers. "We put a lot of work into this competition in the early part of the season. "It's the last cup competition we have to play for and it's certainly very important for us. This was always a competition we wanted to do well in, even before we went out of the two domestic cups."
