Steven Gerrard says Liverpool FC can defeat Manchester United in FA Cup
Steven Gerrard against Napoli[LNB]STEVEN GERRARD insists Liverpool have got what it takes to dump Manchester United out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford tomorrow.[LNB]The skipper says his team-mates will need no motivating as they look to bounce back from Wednesday night's miserable 3-1 defeat at Blackburn.[LNB]'All the players realise how big a game this is, how big the rivalry is and what a good result in this fixture can do,' he said.[LNB]'If we can knock United out it will give us a lot of confidence for the next round and the rest of the competition. That can give us the push to go all the way and it can certainly help for the remainder of the season.[LNB] 'We've won at Old Trafford before and are confident we can do it again. I'm always very confident when I play Manchester United.[LNB]'We're going into the game on the back of some disappointing results and as leader of the team, along with the other experienced players in the dressing room, it's time to rally the troops and get them ready.[LNB]'Sometimes these are the easiest games as captain. You don't need to motivate the players because they are automatically up for it because it's such a big tie.[LNB]'The atmosphere in the dressing room if we get the right result will be fantastic.'[LNB]United, who are top of the Premier League and remain unbeaten, will start as firm favourites.[LNB]However, Gerrard insists there are weaknesses in Alex Ferguson's side that Liverpool can prey on if they play to their potential.
