Ex-Liverpool goalkeeper David James believes that Aston Villa will struggle to cope with the attacking talents of Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling in their FA Cup encounter this weekend.

James has been backing Liverpool to claim a victory over Villa at Wembley in the cup semi-final on Saturday and he believes that the Reds will emerge victorious due to the fact that they possess a dangerous arsenal of attacking players.

The former Liverpool and Villa gloveman told the Liverpool Echo: "If you look through the Villa side, there are lots of players who will struggle with the armoury of Liverpool.

"The likes of Coutinho, Henderson who I think is having a wonderful season, and of course Sterling, I think they'll have too much for Villa if they play well."
