Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that his side are in the hunt for trophies this season.

The Merseysiders advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

Rodgers has hinted that he is looking to challenge for silverware on three fronts this season.

"I said at the beginning of the season that the objective is to win a trophy and be as strong as we can," Rodgers told The Express.

"We want to play as many games as we can. It will be tough but when you're winning games, it gives you energy. The players are young and hungry and this is a group that can grow over the next couple of years.

"We would like to get a trophy to signify that growth, so the Europa League is a competition we will take seriously."

Liverpool face Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday.
