We will respect Cardiff - Gerrard

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is looking forward to leading out the side at Wembley for the first time but has cautioned against complacency.

The Reds drew 2-2 with Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City on Wednesday to book their place in the Carling Cup final 3-2 on aggregate, where they will face Cardiff on February 26.

And Gerrard, who has never been to the home of English football with his hometown club, admitted: "It's been too long for this club to not be in a major cup final, so it's nice to finally get there."
