Gus Poyet: 'We're ready for Liverpool test'

Brighton boss Gus Poyet insists that his side are ready for game against Liverpool.

Brighton manager Gus Poyet believes that his side are ready for the game against Liverpool.

The Seagulls travel to Anfield for the fifth-round tie after beating Newcastle United at the Amex Stadium last month.

Poyet sees the game as "a great opportunity" and although the Uruguayan knows that his side are the underdogs, he maintains that anything can happen.

"This is a great opportunity for us, a great moment for the players and we are not going to try nothing different, we are going to be ourselves and see the outcome," said Poyet.

"We will try to be a proper team, try to be organised, try to play our football and see what happens. They are the favourites, they are the better team, they are stronger and they have international players, but in football you never know.

"We are going to play, we have nothing to lose, but that doesn't mean we are going to go there and be a joke. We are going to try and be ourselves, the result is unpredictable."

Liverpool and Brighton have already faced each other this season in the Carling Cup, the game ending 2-1 to Dalgish's side.
