No, they want 4th place to secure the second leg being at home. And, potentially, playing their play off opposition and sending out a message.

I don't think they'll rest anyone. They've got a good head of steam up now, and will want to maintain that momentum. They will be formidable opponents on Monday.
they'll be sent out to play and win, but some players will take their foot off, they'll not want to risk injury. they'll want positive momentum, yet may also want to save the legs of key players, so maybe one or two rested or brough toff earlier than otherwise.
No one knows except Redknapp and the rookie manager.
Ok take it to the next level, your assured of a playoffs position. Ask yourself, which of the top three would you least want to play in the playoffs? The team on form, scoring for fun or the ones scraping last minute goals for draws or wins.
you have a chance to lay down and get rid of your potentially most potent opposition in the playoffs, do it, you know it’s the right thing to do.
