Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson insists there's no "extra spice" facing Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

Johnson played for Chelsea between 2003 and 2007 but he claims he'll feel no additional emotion competing against his former employers.

"It's doesn't add extra spice for me," Johnson told liverpoolfc.tv. "I take it as any other game, but it's a big occasion.

"It's going to be a difficult game. Any game in the final, you know it's going to be against a good team because everybody rises to the occasion. We're expecting a tough game.

"It's great for the club to be in another final and we'll look to try and get another trophy."
