Liverpool are two games away from Wembley as they face Championship side Leeds in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup tomorrow.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has promised to name a strong side.

"It is not about taking any risks, it is about having a line-up which can stand the intensity of the game because Leeds are in a really good moment," says Klopp.

"They are a football-playing side and they will force us into a lot of things so we need to work hard in these games so the players need to be fit for this.

"We don't want to rest somebody who doesn't need a rest. It is possible we make a few changes, it is possible we will play nearly the same team."

Some more quotes from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, talking about his side's injuries before the EFL Cup quarter-final against Leeds tomorrow.

"Adam (Lallana) is in a very good way, close to team training, but not ready for the game," says Klopp.

"Daniel (Sturridge) is not in team training, Roberto (Firmino) we have to wait. Yesterday he was still painful, so we have to wait. I think it will be OK, but I'm not sure."

On his attempts to get the Liverpool fans to become noisier during the win over Sunderland at Anfield on Saturday, Klopp adds: "During the 95-100 minutes we all want to be successful and we need to do a job. Everybody who can't play also has to do a job. I have to do a job, and so do the crowd."

Watch Ronnie O'Sullivan pot two flukes in quick succession against Scotland's Rhys Clark. 

Spoiler: he went on to win 6-0 in round two of the 2016 UK Championship.  

Newcastle are top of the Championship and play at Hull, who are 18th in the Premier League, in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup tomorrow.

"It's a motivation for us to play against a Premier League team," says Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez. "They play at home, so they have a little bit of an advantage."

"When you play two games a week, the next game is a chance to change things.

"We approach every game with confidence. We know we will have the right motivation and the concentration to do well." 

More on the story ex-Crewe football coach and convicted paedophile Barry Bennell has been taken to hospital. 

Thames Valley Police said officers attended an address in Knebworth Park, Stevenage at about 11:00 GMT on Friday.

"A 62-year-old man was located and was taken to hospital in order to receive medical treatment, where he remains," the force added.

Newcastle have not won a major trophy in 47 years and are in the last eight of the EFL Cup, although Rafael Benitez says he may need to make some changes to his side, who face Premier League strugglers Hull.

"Our approach will be the same. We were doing well in the cup because we have a strong squad," says Benitez.

"If I change players, it is because I am convinced it is still a strong team. I'm very pragmatic. The cup competitions are a chance to progress.

"In terms of the game, it will be tough for both teams. They are a dangerous team to play against."
