Curtis Jones is hopeful that Liverpool will end the season with a double after advancing to the fifth round of the FA Cup over the weekend.

The Reds cruised past Brighton at Anfield on Saturday, with Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah all getting on the scoresheet. The victory was Liverpool's fourth in the last five games in all competitions, and despite the team's disappointing title defense, Arne Slot's men are well placed to finish the season strongly.

A strong Champions League league-phase campaign secured Liverpool a spot in the last 16, while the team is now just two games away from Wembley in the FA Cup.

Speaking after scoring his first goal of the season against Brighton, Jones said that he is eyeing silverware to finish the season.

"I want to win everything," Jones said. "I obviously play as a fan as well. I know what the fans expect, so on top of being a fan, I obviously know what it's like to play for a team like this – you have to win things.

"Whether that's the Premier League or the Champions League. If you don't win those – which are the main two – there are another two that you can go and win.

"We're obviously in the Champions League still, and the FA Cup as well. It's a big cup in England, so it would obviously be great if we could come away with those two but there are still plenty of games to play.

"We're taking each game as it comes, and hopefully at the end of the year we come away with the Champions League and the FA Cup."

Jones was praised by head coach Slot for his performance against Brighton after being asked to fill in at right-back amid the squad's injury issues in that area of the field.

"Very well," Slot said when assessing Jones' display. "Curtis is a very good player – I've said this many times also to him and he agrees with me, by the way!

"But unfortunately for him, he's playing in a line (midfield) where I have many good players and also (they are) available. So if he would be playing in another position, he would have played much, much more.

"But that's the only line – touch wood – where we haven't had our problems this season, and then you sometimes need him or other players in different positions and so many times they've done well.

"Dominik has played so many different positions, Ryan [Gravenberch] played center-back and now tonight Curtis had to play as a full-back and he did really well.

"It was very pleasing to see that the first goal was an assist from the left full-back to the right full-back – that probably tells you a lot about the intentions these players have when they step on the pitch."
