Liverpool's Stewart Downing is hoping for domestic cup success

In 2010 his Aston Villa side were beaten by Manchester United in a close encounter, and he is hoping he can help Liverpool secure the first domestic trophy up for grabs this season.The 27-year-old told Liverpool's official website: “The first one I was an unused sub for Middlesbrough. I would have liked to have played but I was still involved.“The second one for Villa against United - a few things didn't go our way. [Nemanja] Vidic could have been sent off early on, they had a penalty and took the lead. "We were a little bit unlucky on the day. It would have been nice to finish with a medal but it wasn't to be. Hopefully this time around I'll get one."You work hard to get there with the trips away to Exeter and Brighton - they stick in your mind. They were hard games so it'd be nice to finish the job off at Wembley."
