Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that he and his players are determined to win this season's FA Cup.

The Reds travel to Blackburn Rovers for their quarter-final replay on Wednesday after drawing 0-0 at Anfield last month.

Despite two consecutive defeats derailing their hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League, Rodgers believes that ending the campaign with a trophy would represent a step forward for the club.

"It's important to have a game quickly when you lose," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "The group is very committed to winning this trophy, but in order to do that you have to qualify, and we know Blackburn will be a difficult game for us.

"A trophy this season will mark another step forward for us. Getting to a final and winning a trophy is what we want. In terms of the FA Cup, that was always an objective. We'll go there really focused and determined. We can't wait to play again after the weekend's disappointment."

Liverpool head to Ewood Park on the back of a 4-1 thrashing away to Arsenal in the league.
