Liverpool defender Kolo Toure has urged his side not to take Blackburn Rovers lightly.

Liverpool prepare for arguably one of the biggest matches of their season when they square off against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night in the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Ewood Park and the result of the clash will potentially make or break the Reds' campaign.

While Liverpool are considered strong favourites, they were given a hard time by Blackburn during the initial clash between the two sides at Anfield last month and defender Toure believes that the Reds could be in for another difficult encounter this time around as well.

Toure told the Liverpool Echo: "They are a tough team. It was a really challenging game at Anfield and physically they are really strong. Blackburn made it really difficult for us and we know it's going to be another big battle.

"Maybe with them playing at home they will need to attack more and we have quick players who can do well on the counter-attack. If we play with our quality and our belief then we can get through."
