Everton boss Ancelotti fires FA Cup warning at Liverpool

New Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has his sights set on dumping Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

The pair face off in the third round on January 5 in what will be his fourth game in charge.

Ancelotti said in his first press conference as Everton head coach: "Evertonians know my record against Liverpool and they will be happy for this.

"It is true we beat Liverpool this season. It's a big rival here and it's a big motivation for us."

Asked how it feels to beat the Reds he said: 'It feels good! I have a really good relationship with Jurgen Klopp.

"They are not used to losing. It was a good day for me. I know how Everton supporters want to be at Liverpool.

"We don't have to wait long. We will test each other soon. It's not mission impossible [to beat Liverpool]. Nothing is impossible in football."
