Mansfield goalkeeper Alana Marriott is dreaming of an upset against Liverpool.

Mansfield Town goalkeeper Alan Marriott has said that he is positive about his side's chances of claiming the scalp of Premier League side Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Marriott, whose Mansfield play Liverpool on Sunday, has said that his teammates will do everything they can to pull off a shock result.

"Sunday will be a massive moment for me," Sky Sports News quotes Marriott as saying. "I'm 34 now and coming towards the end of my career, but I have never played in the third round and it is something that I have always wanted to do.

"We just have to go out and enjoy the occasion - it fulfils a lot of dreams for a lot of people. But we also want to do our best. We can go out there and enjoy it, but there is no point in doing that if you don't have the belief that you can win, so we want to pull off a shock.

"Some people might think we are in dreamland thinking we can win, but we will be out there fighting like Trojans, so anything could happen."

Conference side Mansfield are one of the lowest-ranked teams left in the cup.
