(Reuters) - Southampton striker Shane Long is hopeful he did enough during Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Manchester City to start Wednesday's Capital One (League) Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.

The Irish international led the line against City with Southampton's top scorer Graziano Pelle suspended and he scored in the 49th minute, his first goal for the club in two months having been restricted by an ankle injury.
