Gerrard eyeing FA Cup as Liverpool going away present

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits he's eyeing the FA Cup as a going away present this season.

The Reds battled into the fourth round of the oldest club cup competition following a 2-1 victory at Kingsmeadow, where their imperious captain scored twice and produced an all-round fantastic performance.

"I always enjoy the FA Cup," he said on BBC One. "I grew up loving the competition and as it's going to be my last time, I want to make the most of it and try and go all the way.

"If I weren't here playing for this team, I'd probably be in the stands watching it so I know what (the FA Cup) means to every single supporter, that's why I always try to give my best.

"We've got to take each game as it comes. I'm told we've got Bolton at home in the next round and that'll be another difficult test.

"I know Neil Lennon quite well and I know he'll set up his team to be very difficult to beat.

"We take each game as it comes but of course, (winning the cup is) what dreams are made of and hopefully that'll be the case."
