Jordan Henderson has vowed to help end Liverpool's long wait for a return to Wembley.
The Reds have not competed at the home of English football since the 1996 FA Cup final.

The club went on to win several trophies at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium following the closure of Wembley, but have not played in a major domestic final since it reopened.
Henderson is surprised by the 16-year absence but is confident they will make an appearance on the famous turf sooner rather than later.
He said: "For such a big club like Liverpool, you would have thought we would have been to Wembley since then.
"I'm sure it won't be long before we are there again. We've got a two-legged tie to come, and it won't be easy, but if we put the right attitude and commitment into the game then I'm sure we can come away with good results."
Henderson returned to the starting XI to play an important role in Tuesday's quarter-final win at Chelsea.
It was the former Sunderland man's defence-splitting pass that released Craig Bellamy to tee up Maxi Rodriguez's opening goal.
The England U21 star enjoyed contributing to another important victory and feels the Reds prevailed courtesy of a well executed game-plan, despite the blow of missing a first-half penalty.
"I might have felt a bit tired in the last five minutes but I was fine," Henderson said.
"We went there with a game plan, we stuck to it and it worked in the end. It has been a brilliant test of character to go there and win both times.
"We were equally as good on Tuesday - the lads were brilliant again. We worked hard from the first minute, every one of us. We worked together as a team and it paid off.
"We kept our heads after missing the penalty, kept going forward and managed to score the two goals."
Henderson has shown great versatility already this season, featuring both centrally and on the right side of midfield.
He insists he has no qualms about what position Kenny Dalglish wishes to deploy him in and is eager to keep working hard to improve his level so he can force his way into the line-up on a more regular basis.
"There were changes against Chelsea but I don't think it was a weaker team," he said.
"The players deserved to be out there and they took their chance so it will be interesting to see in the next game what squad the manager will pick.
"I've played a lot in central midfield and people might say that's my best position, but I've been playing in numerous positions since I've been at Liverpool and it's a different ball game when you come to a club like this.
"At the minute I just have to keep playing well. If I keep working hard then I can be in the team, and I'm happy to be playing anywhere for Liverpool.
"You have to fight for your place every week.
"I'm lucky enough to be in the team at the moment and I just have to keep on doing my best wherever I am put.
"It is difficult when you aren't in the team, but that's part and parcel of football - it does hurt you when you are on the bench.
"But it's a team game, and you have to be there for the lads who aren't playing. You'll get your chance if you impress during training, and you have to then take it. Standards are high at a club like Liverpool, but I set my standards very high and I'm sure everybody else at the club does.
"I still have a lot to prove in terms of goalscoring but I'm sure I can still do it," he said. "If I keep practicing in training then I'm sure it'll pay off."
