Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has claimed that his side's visit to Liverpool in the FA Cup is a "David versus Goliath" tie.

The Championship side travel to Anfield on Sunday with a place in the semi-final up for grabs, and the Rovers manager has conceded that his side are the underdogs against Brendan Rodgers's men.

He told reporters: "Obviously Brendan has got a wonderful squad and he can rest a few with the games he's had lately, and it wouldn't weaken the team, but our players are going to go into the game fully confident.

"It's David versus Goliath, and we've been very organised in our games against Premier League teams, and we'll need that bit of luck but we had a plan for those games and the players followed that plan out."

Liverpool edged out Crystal Palace in the previous round, while Rovers beat Stoke City at Ewood Park.
