Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is targeting success in the Capital One Cup while setting his sights on improved Premier League results.
The Reds take on Chelsea in the league cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday and Rodgers insists it is a goal of the Anfield club to progress to the final and bring in some silverware while also eyeing a top-four finish in the league.
"Our objective is still very much to win a trophy and to qualify for the Champions League," Rodgers said.
"I think that winning a trophy for us would help our future here and what we're trying to build and what we're trying to deliver. It will give the younger players lots of experience.
"I remember being at Chelsea. I joined in 2004, and at that point in time in their history Chelsea were a club that wanted to win titles and win trophies.
"They've maybe done it in a different way, but they've certainly, over the last 10 years, shown that once you've won that first one that you can hopefully go on and sustain it.
"But they will tell you that the players back then, some of them who are still there now, that that first trophy at the time was the most important."
