Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce insists no risks will be taken against FA Cup opponents Rochdale.

Bruce knows TV chiefs are hoping for an upset this weekend.

"We will be as strong as we possibly can," said Bruce.

"The TV cameras are there for an upset and we treat Rochdale with respect. It's a great competition and we have to be at our best and be ready for it.

"A cup run can only be a good thing, a positive thing for the club. We won't catch Liverpool and win the Premier League this year, so let's embrace the FA Cup and have a go.

"We will be strong enough in team and formation to get a result, I'm confident of that."
