Jamie Carragher backs Liverpool to win the FA Cup

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has tipped his former club to win the FA Cup this season.

The Reds begin their campaign with a third-round visit of Oldham Athletic on Sunday, and the retired defender is backing them for glory this term.

Carragher told the Daily Mail: "Teams who do not have Europe on their schedule, such as Everton and Newcastle, will be looking to target this trophy but Liverpool are enjoying a great season and have the weapons to beat anyone on their day."

Carragher played 737 times for the Reds before hanging up his boots at the end of last season.
