West Bromwich Albion striker Romelu Lukaku fancies a long run in the Capital One Cup.

Lukaku is confident the Baggies, lying fourth in the table, can harness their league form to a successful run in the knockout competition.

Ahead of their tie with Liverpool, Lukaku said: "To beat them in the league was a big achievement for us but we know Liverpool will want revenge.

"We have to be ready. It's going well for us now and we just have to keep both our feet on the ground.

"If we want to keep our momentum going, we want to win this game and it would also mean we could go with a clear mind to the derby at Aston Villa [on Sunday].

"Chelsea have done well in the league and the cups and I feel we can do both here. The Capital One Cup is also the quickest way to gain a European spot.

"If the team wants to play in Europe next season, we have to win the next game [to keep that hope alive]."
