Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers targets FA Cup success

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says that he would like to win the FA Cup this season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he would like to win the FA Cup this season.

The Reds face Arsenal in the fifth round on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, where Rodgers is expected to field a full-strength team in a bid to reach the quarter-finals.

However, the Liverpool boss has reiterated that the team are not thinking about winning the Premier League title, despite sitting four points adrift of leaders Chelsea with 12 games remaining.

"We're not thinking about being title contenders. There are 12 games to go and we're just making sure we're focused on continuing with our improvement in performance," Rodgers told reporters.

"We want to win the FA Cup. We don't have a midweek game so we can go as strong as we want to go. We won't need to rest anyone.

"It's different for Arsenal, who have to consider a big European game, but we don't."

Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1 in the Premier League last Saturday.
