Liverpool won't be resting any players for Sunday's FA Cup clash against Arsenal, manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed, with sights firmly set on winning the competition.
With the Reds now considered serious Premier League title challengers and only four points behind leaders Chelsea, there had been suggestions Rodgers could go easy in the FA Cup match in order to focus on the Premier League.

However, the Liverpool manager has categorically rejected that thought and is aiming to send his strongest team out at the Emirates Stadium to put Arsenal to the sword.
"Not really [there’s no temptation to rest players]", the Northern Irishman told a press conference.
