Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says his players are determined to repay the fans for the club's disappointing loss at the weekend when they take on Brighton in the Carling Cup on Wednesday.

Liverpool slumped to a 4-0 Premier League defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a game at White Hart Lane that saw Reds duo Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel sent off. Both men, as a consequence, will be suspended for Wednesday's trip to Brighton as they serve one-match bans.

Dalglish is now seeking a response from his charges in their midweek outing at Championship side Brighton, with club captain Steven Gerrard's pencilled-in return from injury set to boost Liverpool.

"The fans supported us fantastically and I think the boys will bear that in mind and look forward to repaying them in some way," Dalglish predicted. "Sunday didn't please anybody and the players were really disappointed.

"We have got to get ourselves right and concentrate on ourselves. We are pleased to be in the Carling Cup and our intention is to stay in it for as long as we possibly can."
