League Cup trophy can be the catalyst for many more - Liverpool defender Clyne

Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne believes that success in the League Cup could prove to be the catalyst for more trophies in future.

The Reds will face Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the final of the Capital One Cup on Sunday and Clyne feels a win will pave the way for many more successes for the Anfield outfit.

Clyne said: "Everyone is buzzing about the cup final and, for me, it's my first major cup final so all my friends and family are coming and it's very exciting for the whole club.

"I think the biggest thing you notice with the manager is the hunger and desire to win the ball back.

"The midfielder, defenders and full backs like me have to work very hard. It has been tough but it's also been paying off.

"It was something I was used to with the previous manager, I was used to pressing high up the field and it's no problem. I'm fit and I'm young.

"I think you can see that it's working and I'm sure we are going to shoot up the table.

"We've actually been playing well in games, not always getting results and hopefully if we can win a trophy that will give us confidence and mean we can go on and win a lot more."
