Liverpool U18s face Aston Villa this evening in the 2021 FA Youth Cup final.
Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's Reds are aiming to become the fifth side in the club's history to lift English football's most prestigious youth competition.
Liverpool captain Jarell Quansah said, "I can't wait. All the lads are up for this game and it's something that we've worked so hard for in this competition. We've had to dig deep and grind out results almost, so to lead the lads out on Monday night is just going to be a great feeling.
"We've come this far, so I'm sure the boys will be ready for anything. It's great to get the fans in – I know it's just Villa fans but it's definitely something to look forward to.
"It would be nice to bring the trophy back for the lads, and for Bridgey as well because I've worked under him for so long now, so it would be great for him as well.
"I will try to calm everyone down [before the game] and say, 'Enjoy yourself, let's play how we want to play and get the win.'"
Meanwhile, Aston Villa captain Kaine Kesler says they go into the final full of confidence.
He said, “The team spirit's strong. Most of us have been together since we were younger, and we won the Floodlit Cup at Under-15s.
“Winning cups and winning games together is what we need to do. The team spirit, because it's so good, helps us all the time.
“As long as we keep the confidence that I know we have, we've got a really good chance of winning."
