LIVERPOOL start Adam Lallana is wary of the threat posed by Blackburn Rovers ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final tie between the sides on Sunday.

Lallana has impressed in the Reds recent run of form and they host Gary Bowyer's side having suffered a solitary defeat in English competitions since mid-December.

But the England international knows Rovers, who have knocked out two top-flight teams already in this season's competition, can pose a threat at Anfield.

"We won't underestimate Blackburn," he said. "It is a great competition in which we have a great chance of getting to Wembley in the semi-final."
