Lucas has Wembley vision

The Reds' last piece of silverware came when they beat West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Liverpool's last appearance at Wembley came a decade before that when they were beaten by Manchester United in the final.

"You can see from the first game we played in the Carling Cup (at League One strugglers Exeter) we take the competition really seriously," said Brazil international Lucas.

"We want to go to Wembley. We have a tough match away again -- we haven't played at home (this season) in the Carling Cup.

"If we get through to the semi-final it will show how committed we are with this club.

"This kind of match you don't need any extra motivation because it is a big game, a quarter-final, and it is a chance to win a trophy." Manager Kenny Dalglish is still unhappy about the scheduling of the tie just two days after Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City.

Lucas, who put in a man-of-the-match display against Roberto Mancini's side, may be required again at Stamford Bridge.

"As the manager said, when we saw the draw it is a bit unfair because we only have 24 hours off in between," said the 24-year-old.

"It is not the best for recovery but I think we have a very good staff and they will do everything we need to be 100 per cent in the next game.

"No-one will be fresh for that game, that is for sure, but we will do our best to get ready and get another victory to get to the semi-final."

With the likes of Maxi Rodriguez, scorer in the 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge the weekend before last, £35million striker Andy Carroll, veterans Craig Bellamy and Jamie Carragher and highly rated England Under-21 international Martin Kelly all set to play, Liverpool have plenty of depth.
