Philippe Coutinho "anxious" for Wembley debut

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho admits that he is "quite anxious" to play in his first match at Wembley.

Philippe Coutinho has said that he is "quite anxious" to play at Wembley for the first time when Liverpool take on Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend.

The Reds will play at the national stadium for the first time since losing to Chelsea in the 2012 FA Cup final when they take on Tim Sherwood's side for a place in this season's final tomorrow afternoon.

The Brazilian, who scored the winning goal in the team's 1-0 replay win over Blackburn Rovers, told the Liverpool Echo: "The FA Cup has been good to me this season. I have scored some goals but I want to get better because I need to get better.

"I'm quite anxious to play at Wembley because it's a ground with wonderful history and I have never played there. This will be my first time and I will be really honoured to play at a stadium with such fantastic history.

"It would be very important for me to win the cup here, not only for me, but for the club as a whole. That would be a massive achievement."

The winner of tomorrow's match will face either Reading or defending champions Arsenal in next month's final.
