Brendan Rodgers sets sights on Europa League glory

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers sets his sights on winning the Europa League this season.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has said that he has set his sights on winning the Europa League this season.

The Anfield side dropped into Europe's secondary competition back in December after finishing behind Real Madrid and Basel in their Champions League group.

The five-time European Cup winners host Turkish side Besiktas on Thursday, and the Northern Irishman thinks that his squad are good enough to go all the way this term.

He told reporters: "I said at the beginning of the season that one of the objectives for us was to win a trophy. Hopefully you'll have seen from the efforts that we've put into the cup competitions that we want to do everything we can to win a trophy.

"This competition is no different - it's a very prestigious competition and a competition that we want to do well in."

Serbian winger Lazar Markovic is suspended for the tie after receiving a four-game suspension earlier this week.
