The England international wrote (via liverpool.com):“I’ve no doubt there will be many, many people at Anfield this evening who will have a lot of special memories about our most recent Carabao Cup campaign. After winning the trophy last season, this is a competition that means a great deal to everyone involved with Liverpool. So, it is great to be able to participate in it once again.&quot;The fact that we won the cup earlier this year speaks for itself. As captain, I was fortunate to be given the honour to lift the trophy and that is something which will live with me forever.&quot;Henderson added:“Given how hard it is to win any competition, winning it understandably dominates people’s thoughts and feelings – but I can’t help feeling that what happened in the build-up to that unforgettable day at Wembley should be just as prominent in our thoughts.&quot;
