After brushing Brighton aside, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is looking forward to the home clash with Stoke City in the next round.

"We're pleased to get a home draw, but its not going to be an easy game," he said. "They came here in the league and were very resilient and defended well.

"It was very tough for us and we drew the game, so we're expecting a similar game to the league game but hopefully we can convert our chances this time and get to Wembley again.

"It'll be fantastic for the supporters if we can take them to Wembley for the second time."
