Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has warned any player revelling in their Carling Cup success.

If sealing next month's Carling Cup clash with Cardiff sees anyone in red take their foot off the gas, they are heading for trouble.

Kop boss Dalglish insisted: "You would think they would be up for it no matter what, having just reached Wembley.

"There are two ways you can go. You can just accept you have got there and tail off but that won't be allowed here. We have to put it in the bank and look forward to the date when it comes.

"We have to win the games between now and Wembley. That's how it should be seen. It should be an encouragement.

"We can't just do what we want until we get to Wembley. We have to put performances on whenever we play between now and February 26."
