Brendan Rodgers has urged Leicester to “create new history” by reaching the League Cup final.

The Premier League high-fliers, who last won the trophy in 2000, host Aston Villa in the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday as overwhelming favourites to make it to Wembley.

The 2016 Premier League champions, who are second in the league this season, have not reached a major final since.

“I’m aware the club hasn’t been to a final for 20 years so let’s get there then,” Rodgers said on Tuesday.
