Everton's Leon Osman predicts a buzz around Liverpool in the build up to the all-Merseyside FA Cup semi-final next weekend.

Everton midfielder Leon Osman has claimed that he can't wait for FA Cup fever to reach Merseyside as the Toffees prepare to face Liverpool in the semi-final of the competition next Saturday.

Both sets of supporters will be travelling down to Wembley for the highly-anticipated clash and Osman has admitted that he is looking forward to being part of the atmosphere.

"It's a big game," Osman told the Liverpool Post. "It has been 20-odd years since we've played each other at Wembley, so it will be pleasing to be a part of one of those games.

"It'll be a crazy place to live. It's only a few weeks, so it's a quick turnaround. It will be crazy with people wanting tickets left, right and centre, so that will be fun and games over the next few weeks."

Meanwhile, before the blue half of Merseyside can begin considering the trip to Wembley, they will have to try to overcome Norwich City in a Premier League match on Saturday.
