Martin Keown backs Aston Villa to beat Liverpool in FA Cup

Martin Keown tips Aston Villa to beat Liverpool when the sides meet in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Martin Keown has said that that former club Aston Villa are capable of beating Liverpool in their FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

The two sides will go head to head at Wembley on Sunday, with Villa looking to reach the final of the competition for the first time in 15 years.

Keown believes that Villa striker Christian Benteke, along with Gabriel Agbonlahor, can inspire Tim Sherwood's side to the final.

"I don't think there's any doubt he could do that. [Liverpool's] Kolo Toure would not relish playing against these two," the ex-England and Arsenal defender told ITV Sport.

"There would be pockets of space for Gabby Agbonlahor to run in to and not many defenders can match him in a foot race.

"Villa can enjoy the semi final while maybe Liverpool are running out of steam and momentum is building for Villa. I would not want to play against Agbonlahor and Benteke, if those two are up against you they are going to test you."

Keown made 133 appearances for Villa between 1986 and 1989.
