By John Ley (The Telgraph)Rafael Benitez's first three games saw an unchanged team, but in a total of 195 games in charge of Liverpool, he has named an unchanged side just five times.
He did it four times in his first season, 2004-05. He then famously went 100 games before making no changes again, against Bordeaux on Oct 31, 2006.
Since then he has gone 54 games with a change in every team. Since the Premier League visit of Fulham to Anfield, in Feb 2005, Benitez has kept an unchanged side once in 155 games.
This season, Liverpool have used 22 players in 15 games, but six clubs have used more.
