Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish hints that Carling Cup final places are on the line when his side host Brighton in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has suggested that Carling Cup final places are on the line when his side take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup this weekend.

The Reds host the Seagulls in the fifth round on Saturday before their Wembley final against Cardiff City on Sunday, February 26.

"If someone plays well against Brighton it gives you a problem for the team the following week," Dalglish told reporters. "I've not got any idea what my team will be for then. The target for us is to progress into the next round of the FA Cup.

"We are in a better position than we were a year ago – we were out of the FA Cup, out of the Carling Cup and tailed off in the league. Now we're four points off fourth spot, the fifth round of the Cup's coming up and we are in the Carling Cup final. We still have an awful lot to play for."

The Reds last won the FA Cup in 2006.
