"It's fantastic for us to get back to Wembley and we have made such good progress since last season. I am also made up for our fans who will be at Wembley cheering on Liverpool again.
"It's such a high stage and hopefully we can get the result everyone wants.""To win a first medal with Liverpool would be very special," Kelly told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I have been at Liverpool since the age of seven and come through the Academy ranks.
