Jamie Carragher has revealed he expects to sign a new deal at Liverpool in the near future.

The 32-year-old put contract talks on hold earlier this year, but new Reds boss Roy Hodgson has made it one of his top priorities to sort out Carragher's situation.

Carragher, who celebrates his testimonial this weekend against Everton, has held positive talks with the club's hierarchy and is hopeful it will get resolved later this month.

"I have spoken to the managing director, Christian Purslow, and we've had a good chat about the new contract," said Carragher

"I'm sure it will happen.

"The most important thing was for the club to get the ins and outs sorted before the transfer deadline.

"That's done now so I'm sure we will have something sorted out in the next week or two."

Wembley dream

Meanwhile, Carragher has set his sights on reaching a Wembley cup final with Liverpool this season as he has yet to play in the national stadium for the Reds in his illustrious career.

"I want to push on, I want to get in the top four and I want to win a trophy," added Carragher.

"Liverpool supporters haven't been to Wembley for a very long time because of the Cardiff situation a few years ago and I want to play at Wembley for Liverpool.

"I've never done that and that is one of my aims for this season. We don't want to be treading water, I certainly hope not."
