Goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain insists the month of February will show just how competitive Liverpool will be this season.
Sitting fourth in FA WSL 1, Liverpool now have an SSE Women’s FA Cup fifth round tie against third-tier Chichester City to look forward to on Sunday.
The last week has not gone to plan for Liverpool, heavy defeats by Manchester City and Arsenal have not helped the Reds’ preparation.
However, Chamberlain, who was at the fifth round draw at Park Brow Primary School in Kirkby, Liverpool, and is targeting a visit to Wembley.
She said: “The SSE Women’s FA Cup is a massive competition and every single team that’s in it wants to get to the Final.
“You need a little bit of luck along the way, you need a good draw, you need that rub of the green, but we want to get to the Final and we want to go out there, play at Wembley and go and win it.
“We were definitely hoping for a home draw. If you can play at home it’s much easier.
“Obviously, people will be looking to avoid teams in WSL 1, but there are no easy games at this point.”
Chamberlain has enjoyed support throughout the city since arriving at Liverpool in December 2015, some of which was on show from schoolchildren watching the fifth round draw.
The England keeper has identified consistency as the key to achieving success this season and has called on her team-mates to compete more regularly with the likes of WSL heavyweights Manchester City and Chelsea.
Chamberlain said: “I think for us it’s about competing week in week out.
“There are some fantastic teams in there - you look at Man City and you look at Chelsea, you look at the depth in their squad and they’re full of internationals.
“We’ve got a lot of young players coming through and we’ve been doing well.
“We’ve got a lot of good results, but we need to put in some good performances. We need to kind of test ourselves and see where we are at.”
This season’s Final takes place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 5 May.
