Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard wants to maintain focus ahead of Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg - by banning talk of Wembley.
The Reds hold a 1-0 lead over Manchester City from the first leg and are favourites to progress ahead of the return game at Anfield, but Gerrard insists the team must prepare correctly.
Kenny Dalglish's side go into the tie after a woeful 3-1 defeat at Bolton on Saturday, leading some to conclude the team were already looking ahead to the big cup games this week.
Liverpool face Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday but Gerrard believes looking past Manchester City could be costly.
"(Wembley talk) has got to be banned because we haven't made it there yet," said the England international.
"Of course it enters your mind and you dream about it; that helps when it comes to motivation.
"But I don't think any of our players will be getting carried away or thinking we've already done the job.
"We know this is a big game and a tough game."
Liverpool have not won a trophy since lifting the 2006 FA Cup but Gerrard has plenty of big game experience of two-legged ties himself having won Champions League semi-finals in 2005 and 2007.
"I think experience is important, it always is," he told the official matchday program.
"Especially when you have a lead in such an important two-legged fixture.
"We need to play to our maximum. We need every player to turn up and play well to qualify.
"We need to ignore the scoreline and go into this game trying to win it. I think if we're too negative and try to just protect the lead it could be very dangerous."
