"I don't play in the Premier League much but when I play cup games, I want to win them and I'm so happy to go to the final," Endo said on his podcast The Red Machine.

"Recently the manager told me what I've done this season is really amazing and really helpful for the team because even though I haven't had the chance to play a lot, when I do, I always try and give 100 per cent to help the team.

Predecessor Jurgen Klopp won the Premier League and Champions League during his time in charge, and the Reds have been in contention on plenty of occasions even when not managing to get over the line.

"I think expectations are always there, yes, it is a part of this club, part of the history of this club and part of inheriting a quality squad as we have," Slot said ahead of Sunday's final.
