Two clubs chasing FA Cup glory will do battle today in a cup match between Liverpool and Blackburn. The quarterfinal clash scheduled for 12 p.m. ET will be held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via BBC): "There is no one in the squad who has a God-given right to walk straight into the team. I have shown in my time here that players who are performing well, irrespective of price or status, they play. Simple as that. Steven [Gerrard] is very much a team man and if he was on the bench because the team was in good form and playing well, I think everyone respects that."
Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer (via Daily Mail): "I think they're the most impressive team in the Premier League at the moment and the football that they're playing is fantastic. Obviously, full credit to the manager for the way he changed his formation."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Gerrard not featuring in the starting XI, the central midfield responsibilities continue to fall on Jordan Henderson. In 27 league appearances, the 24-year-old has four goals and seven assists. He'll look for more of the same at Anfield on Sunday.
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (3-4-3): Mignolet; Sakho, Skrtel, Can; Moreno, Allen, Henderson, Markovic; Coutinho, Sterling; Sturridge
Blackburn's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Steele; Olsson, Kilgallon, Hanley, Henley; Conway, Williamson, Evans, Cairney; Gestede, Rhodes
