Southampton midfielder Steven Davis says they can match Liverpool in their EFL Cup semifinal.

Saints defeated one of the Premier League top dogs Arsenal at The Emirates 2-0 last night thanks to Jordy Clasie and Ryan Bertrand's strikes, but Davis believes that free-scorers Liverpool will be a different prospect.

"It doesn't get any tougher does it let's be honest," Davis said. “If you're going to win the competition then you're going to beat these teams.

“It's going to be a very tough semi-final over the two legs, but we'll give our all. It's about time we got to a final, but there's a tough task in front of us."
