Lucas Leiva has suggested that Liverpool want to thank their supporters by winning the League Cup on Sunday.
The Reds, who will face Manchester City in the domestic cup competition final at Wembley, last won a trophy in 2012 with it also being a League Cup.
Liverpool are famous for their passionate set of fans, who are known to support the Merseyside giants through thick and thin.
And Lucas, who feels the fans also have a role to play in winning a trophy, wants Liverpool to repay their faith and support by coming out victorious against Manchester City.
“[Winning] pays off for us but also for the fans”, he told the club’s official site.

“They are supporting us every day through good and bad times and of course they want to see the trophy.
“I think it is a combination of all the work, not just players, managers and staff but also the fans and the whole club.
“If you win the trophy then everyone feels that you’ve played a part and that's why it is so special to win finals.
“Hopefully we will be able to do it. For sure that's the only thing the fans want as well.”
Lucas, whose only piece of silverware at Anfield is the 2012 League Cup, joined Liverpool from Gremio in 2007.
The Brazilian has thus far amassed 304 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, scoring six times and providing 17 assists.
The 29-year-old midfield enforcer, who has 22 caps for Brazil to his name, also represented the nation at Under-20 and Under-23 level.
