Sports Mole previews the FA Cup quarter-final clash between Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will be keen to see his side transfer their Premier League momentum to their FA Cup quarter-final clash with Blackburn Rovers on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds have enjoyed a terrific few days on Merseyside, defeating Manchester City last weekend before a 2-0 win over Burnley on Wednesday.

The Anfield outfit are very much a team in the ascendancy but while they are receiving plenty of praise, Rodgers will be hoping that his side can find the goals that their play deserves after failing to score more than twice in a game for six matches.

Captain Steven Gerrard could be ready to feature after a hamstring injury, but Rodgers has hinted that the midfielder may have to make do with a place on the bench.

Defender Mamadou Sakho could also be involved, but Rodgers is likely to avoid rotating a team that has gelled well in recent weeks.

Blackburn will be without striker Josh King for the short trip to Liverpool as he continues to recover from a hamstring problem.

However, strike partner Rudy Gestede could be recalled to the side after being an unused substitute in Rovers' 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

That was the Championship outfit's first win in five, but after already taking the scalps of Swansea City and Stoke City, boss Gary Bowyer will be confident that his side can cause a surprise against their in-form opponents.
