Coutinho: Liverpool won't underestimate Blackburn

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho says they're wary of FA Cup opponents Blackburn Rovers.

Though the Reds have automatically been declared as favourites to progress against their Championship opponents, Coutinho doesn't necessarily see it that way.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "In the cup, all games are tough. It will be a difficult game for sure, like all the others.

"But I think the most important thing is to think about just one game at a time, so the most important game now is the next one with Besiktas.

"We have a good chance, we have been playing well and everyone is making an effort. That's what we want because our objective is to win trophies. That is what everyone wants at the club."
