Liverpool Looking for 1st Silverware Under Jurgen Klopp

The Reds reached two finals last term in manager Jurgen Klopp's first season in charge—the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League—but failed to come away with silverware in either.

On Tuesday, Daniel Sturridge scored twice as a much-changed Liverpool saw off Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield. The Reds—who have been one of the most impressive teams in the Premier League this campaign—seem to have an eye firmly on Wembley Stadium again this year.

At home against Leeds, who have endured mixed fortunes this season and find themselves mid-table in the Championship, Liverpool should have little trouble reaching the final four.

Bleacher Report UK's Jack Lusby believed the draw to be favourable for the Reds:

United will also be looking for their first trophy under manager Jose Mourinho, not counting the Community Shield.

Slaven Bilic's West Ham have had a difficult time this season, but they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the fourth round to reach the quarter-final stage—they could prove to be a tricky test, even at Old Trafford.

OptaJoe and Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News reflected on the pair's last meeting in this competition:

Meanwhile, Arsenal eased past Reading with a 2-0 win to extend their unbeaten run to 14 games—their last loss was their 4-3 defeat at the hands of Liverpool on the opening day of the season.

The Saints have also been tough to beat of late, with Inter Milan's victory over them on Oct. 20 being their only loss since the Gunners beat them 2-1 in early September.

Arsenal will be grateful to have been given a home fixture against manager Claude Puel's side, whom they will have to break down if they're to progress.

Rafa Benitez's Newcastle hit Preston North End for six goals at St. James' Park and are flying towards promotion from the Championship, so they'll fancy their chances against Hull, even though they're away from home.

The Chronicle's Lee Ryder welcomed the draw:

The Tigers' most pressing concern is Premier League survival, while the positive atmosphere around Newcastle could give the Magpies the edge.
