Dalglish urges fans to roar Reds on

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has urged his club's supporters to make the difference as they prepare to meet Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Reds booked a place at Wembley in the Carling Cup final courtesy of a 2-2 draw with Man City in their semi-final second leg at Anfield on Wednesday, enough to earn them a 3-2 aggregate win.

And now Dalglish has asked the Anfield faithful to get behind their side again as they seek more cup success this season.

"We need everyone on and off the pitch at the same level they were at on Wednesday"

Ahead of Saturday's 12.45pm kick-off, Dalglish told the club's official website: "The performance from everybody who's got a feeling towards Liverpool Football Club on Wednesday night was fantastic.

"The supporters were magnificent. They kept the players going, and the players kept them going. They both helped each other.

"We just need everybody to be at the same level on and off the pitch on Saturday. If we play like that and get the support we got, we'll give ourselves a better chance of progressing in the FA Cup."

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes playing at home gives Liverpool a slight advantage, and he has also called on the players from both teams to make sure the match passes without incident.

"I always think home draws make you favourite," Ferguson told United's official website. "But it's a massive game for both clubs. There's a tremendous profile on it. There will be interest throughout the country.

"It is a big game and at the end of the day we want to talk about a game of football. You just have to concentrate on the game.

"We have to try and play our game - that helps. Both sets of players have to be aware of that. I'm confident there won't be problems."

He added: "It's a big FA Cup tie - there's no doubt about it. In my time there haven't been many cup ties between the clubs. It's one to look forward to and I think the players will follow that."
