Gini Wijnaldum feels Liverpool have been handed a very good chance of winning silverware this season.

The Reds were drawn against Leeds United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Tuesday night.

The Merseyside club will host the Yorkshire outfit at Anfield in late November and Wijnaldum suggests there is a good feeling amongst the playing group regarding their overall league cup hopes.

"It seems like it's a real chance," the Dutchman told Liverpoolfc.com.

"But we must look at it from round to round, and try to win the games to get to the final and then try to win it. It's an opportunity to win a trophy and we must do everything to achieve that. That's what we're going to do."

He said: "It doesn't matter because if you want to win the cup, you have to beat everyone.

"So it doesn't matter when or where you play against another team – you have to win it to win the trophy. And to be fair, there are no easy games in the Premier League and the cup."
