Liverpool face Chelsea at Old Trafford in the semi-final tomorrow and Xabi Alonso says the Reds are determined to beat the Blues and progress to the Millenium Stadium next month.

"We always want to win silverware at Liverpool. We are now close to the final and because it's a target of the club to win silverware each year we want to win the FA Cup," said the Basque.
 
"That is our most important target and we are really motivated to achieve it.
 
"We were really disappointed last year with our performance in the FA Cup so we wanted to approach this competition in the right way. I think we really understand what the FA Cup means and we showed that from our first game.
 
"We know it is going to be a massive game this weekend. It is just one tie and we know that if we beat them we will be in the final.
 
"We know them very well and they know us very well and most of the games have been really tight. The games are so close and so competitive."
