Liverpool: Jesus Navas believes it will take hard work and intelligence for Manchester City to turn around their Capital One Cup semi-final against Everton.

City were beaten 2-1 in the first leg of the last-four tie at Goodison Park on Wednesday as Navas' second-half equaliser was almost immediately negated by a 78th-minute Romelu Lukaku winner.

The visitors had fought back after Ramiro Funes Mori opened the scoring for the Toffees in first-half injury time, but they will have to respond again at the Etihad Stadium on January 27.

City winger Navas said: "We knew this competition the semi-finals are two legs and we know in these kind of situations we need to be clever. We wanted to win here but we conceded two goals and couldn't win. But we have the second leg at home and we will work hard to get through to the final and win the Cup."
