Klopp issues Liverpool warning
Jurgen Klopp has warned his Liverpool side against being overconfident as they face Southampton for a place in the quarter-finals.
“Everybody says it’s Liverpool against Southampton. Liverpool is a massive favourite and whatever people say anyway [that’s] not too important. But that’s not the case. We need to find a team who is competitive and then we will fight for it,” he said.
“Obviously we all got a really good taste of how Wembley feels on a day like this. We had all different experiences there. We lost there, we won there so it’s a nice stadium anyway, but when you win it’s a completely different place.”

City keep quiet on draw preference
Coventry City are the lowest ranked side left in the competition, though hat-trick hero Ellis Simms is keeping quiet on the team he wants to face in the next round.
“I do not really have a preference. Nobody particularly,” he said.
“We know there is only top teams left in the competition, so we know whoever we get, it is going to be a difficult game. We just have to wait and see and hopefully we can prepare right for that game and progress again.”
