Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to improve their record in the Cups next season.

The Reds were eliminated from all three knockout competitions they entered in 2012-13 as Rodgers coped with having a small and inexperienced squad.

He said: "This time, we'll certainly give the League Cup and the FA Cup a proper go - we have a much better squad to do that.

"We had a paper-thin squad last year, we had kids all the way through. Obviously those players who have come in have added quality and it's no coincidence that we have kicked on when we've had quality in the group.

"We need to improve the group and the depth but that's what gives me great hope for the summer. If we can add that, we can make a real start and then we're ready to challenge."
