Kenny keen to extend cup run.
Kenny Dalglish intends to field a strong side in the Carling Cup on Wednesday night to give Liverpool the best possible chance of pushing on in the competition.
The Reds will travel to the south coast to take on Championship high-flyers Brighton in the third round, having overcome Exeter in the tournament last time out.
Dalglish named a strong side in that encounter - unlike predecessor Roy Hodgson who suffered an ignominious exit to League Two Northampton at this stage 12 months ago - and the manager will do the same again on Wednesday.

"We are pleased to be in the Carling Cup and our intention is to stay in it for as long as we possibly can," he told Liverpool's official website.
"We will have a strong team out tomorrow night and we will treat it in the same manner as we treated the Exeter game.
"If we go there with the same attitude then we will give ourselves the best chance to win.
"Brighton are doing fantastically well after getting promotion and were sitting on top of the table until they lost to Leicester.
"It will be a difficult game. We have got to get ourselves right, concentrate on ourselves, do our homework on Brighton and take forward it from there.
"We will approach it properly and professionally. They were totally professional when we played at Exeter and we'll have to do the same again if we want to get a result."
Liverpool will look to recover from last weekend's 4-0 Premier League thrashing at Tottenham when they make the trip to the Amex Stadium.
Much has been said about the Reds' performance at White Hart Lane, where they were second-best even before they had Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel sent off, but Dalglish is keen to move on.
Disappointed
"It didn't please anybody and the players were really disappointed," he added. "We don't think we played well, even with 11 men we didn't play well.
"Maybe that's the standard we are setting for ourselves but we are not going to settle for anything less.
"We will look to do the best we possibly can in every game, we won't always play well but we will always try our best.
"We didn't start so well on Sunday, which contributed to our downfall, along with Spurs' play."
