Bolton boss Gary Megson is refusing to worry about the possibility of Liverpool fielding a weakened team against Birmingham this weekend.Wigan chief Steve Bruce has voiced his concerns that Birmingham could be handed an advantage in the battle against relegation if Rafa Benitez decides to rest a number of his top stars ahead of next week's Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Chelsea.

Liverpool boosted Bolton's survival hopes last weekend with a 2-0 win over Fulham and Megson is refusing to get involved in the debate regarding Benitez's team selection for the trip to Birmingham.

"Rafa's team and his selection is nothing to do with me or indeed anybody else other than Rafa and Liverpool," Megson told Sky Sports News.

"He put a team out [at Fulham] and regardless of the result it is a strong team, it has had a right good go and there is no getting away from it helped us and indeed everybody else down there.

"Rafa Benitez has to do what is best for Liverpool and we all have to do what is best for our own teams.

"I think the fact Liverpool can rest players and still put out that kind of side just shows the size of the squad and quality they have got."

Bolton have climbed out of the bottom three with two successive wins against West Ham and Middlesbrough and Megson believes they have their destiny in their own hands.

"What we have done now with six points out of six is that we have given ourselves an opportunity to be involved in last few games as that wasn't the case three or four weeks ago and probably wasn't there after ten games either.

"We are still in a precarious position, but we are involved with the other teams to try and get ourselves out of it.

"The last two results have put us in a position where we can say it is in our own hands."
