Injured star Lucas is relishing this weekend's all-Merseyside FA Cup semi-final and is confident his teammates can pull off a third win of the season against our old rivals.
Lucas has been recovering from a knee injury since November and is set to watch from the sidelines as his colleagues take part in a second Wembley occasion of the season.
And the contest against Everton is one he can't wait for.
"I think it's a fantastic game for both sides, the first semi-final at Wembley," said Lucas in an exclusive interview in this week's LFC magazine. "It will be a special day for the clubs and the city. We're all looking forward to it. Hopefully we can play well and beat them for the third time this season."
"It's clear that we are not in a good moment," he continues. "But we've had difficulties in other seasons and got through them. We can do that this year. We can still get through to the final of the FA Cup. That would be a very good title to win. If we could win two competitions of the three we've entered it would be very important for the club."
The club's recent run of bad results has prompted some fans to wonder whether the team might have fared any better if Lucas had been available to play in the first-team.
"Yeah, fans say that [we would have done better], especially after a defeat. I think that's normal for supporters to say to an injured player. I don't think it's just because I'm out of the team that we've lost games," our No.21 said.
"I didn't play when we won the Carling Cup or defeated Man City, they were great results. Of course it's nice to hear and to know that people appreciate the work I was doing in the team. But I'd rather see the lads winning. I don't want to see the team on a bad run."
