Jamie Carragher: 'Crystal Palace are Liverpool's bogeyteam'

Jamie Carragher calls for Liverpool to stand up to the threat of "bogeyteam" Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called for Brendan Rodgers's side to stand up to the challenge of "bogeyteam" Crystal Palace when they travel to Selhurst Park in the FA Cup this evening.

An abject performance saw the Reds suffer a 3-1 reverse on their last trip to South London, while they also let a three-goal lead slip late on to effectively end their Premier League title hopes towards the end of last season.

Carragher told the Daily Mail: "There is no doubt Palace have been a bogeyteam for Liverpool. They shattered Brendan Rodgers's hopes of bringing the title back to Anfield and the effects of that 3-3 draw were still being felt all the way through to last November, when Liverpool folded at Selhurst Park and were beaten 3-1.

"Only after that defeat were Liverpool able to start recovering and while they head into Saturday night's FA Cup fifth-round tie with an opportunity to really build some momentum, the squad will be conscious of the threat Alan Pardew's men pose.

"It is the tie of the weekend, as Palace will be aiming to inflict further misery on Liverpool and dreaming of the chance to repeat their achievements of 1990 and get back to Wembley. They can be difficult opposition when the home crowd get behind them. This match, however, is huge for Liverpool."

Liverpool have seen off AFC Wimbledon and Bolton Wanderers so far in this season's FA Cup.
