Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is adamant they've improved this season.

The Reds have won the Carling Cup and are into the final of the FA Cup.

Reina told LFC magazine: "There is no doubt that we have improved from last season already.

"Last season we finished seventh and that is still possible even though we would have liked to finish higher. We have still won one trophy with the possibility of a second while also qualifying for Europe.

"The target for the club is still to get back in the Champions League but before the beginning of the season, if someone said we'd win the Carling Cup and reach the final of the FA Cup with a chance of winning that as well, probably most people would have taken that."
