Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius still confident the Reds will go to Wembley despite EFL Cup semi-final first leg defeat by Southampton

Goalkeeper Loris Karius believes Liverpool will be lining up at Wembley next month despite Southampton winning the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

On Wednesday the Reds struggled against the side they have raided for players in recent years, with Nathan Redmond's first-half strike securing a 1-0 win for Saints.

Poor finishing, misfortune and some smart saves prevented Claude Puel's men from deservedly adding gloss to the scoreline, giving Karius belief that they will overturn the deficit in the return leg on January 25.
