Blackburn Rovers defender Corry Evans eyes Liverpool scalp

Blackburn Rovers defender Corry Evans has his sights on a shock victory over Liverpool when the sides meet in their FA Cup quarter-final replay on Wednesday evening.

The Northern Ireland international is a product of the Manchester United academy like brother Jonny, and comes from a family of die-hard Red Devils supporters.

"Jonny hopes to be there to cheer us on, which would be great," The Mirror quotes Corry as saying. "He's a United fan like me and it would be great to beat Liverpool.

"I've been getting a lot of texts off my family and friends back home saying it would be great if we could put them out.

"In Northern Ireland, you're basically either a United or Liverpool fan. My family and most of my friends are United fans. I do have some friends who support Liverpool and it would be nice to put them out for that reason."

Blackburn knocked out Premier League outfits Swansea City and Stoke City en route to the quarters.
