GRAEME Souness today insisted 'we fear no-one' as Rovers prepare for tomorrow's FA Cup clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Last month's third round draw could have been kinder on the Ewood club but Souness is adamant he's relishing his trip to the Midlands.

"This is a nice break for us from the pressures of the Premiership and I want us to go there and play with no inhibitions," said Souness.

"I always tell the players to enjoy their football but that's sometimes difficult in the Premiership because the pressure is so intense.

"But this is a cup game, it's a one-off, we are going to be playing in a fantastic stadium and it's important we enjoy it.

"At the end of the day, we could have been going to play a small team on a poor pitch so we should be relishing occasions like this."

Tomorrow's game is the first of two major cup ties in the next four days, with Rovers also set to face United at Old Trafford in the last four of the Worthington Cup next week.

But Souness insists his players will not let thoughts of Tuesday's games affect their preparations for Villa.

"I don't look on it as one game being more important than the other," said Souness.

"At the moment, all we are doing is concentrating on tomorrow's game and I've not even thought about the Worthington Cup as yet."

David Dunn looks set to return tomorrow after missing the last three games through injury.

But Souness has a slight doubt about David Thompson who has a groin problem.

ROVERS' SQUAD: Friedel, Neill, McEveley, Taylor, Johansson, Flitcroft, Tugay, Thompson, Dunn, Cole, Yorke, Gillespie, Ostenstad, Todd, Grabbi, Danns, Kelly.
