Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is up for their FA Cup semifinal against Aston Villa.

Mignolet is likely to be tested by Belgium team-mate Christian Benteke, who is enjoying his own return to form with eight goals in his last seven games.

"I've not spoken to Benteke this week but we spoke about it when we last met for internationals," said the goalkeeper.

"We still had Blackburn to play at that stage but he knew if we were to progress it would be me and him.

"We know Aston Villa have aerial ability with two strikers up front and so it is something we have to deal with on Sunday.

"He (Benteke) has been scoring a couple of goals lately, together with (Gabriel) Agbonlahor they have a lot of pace up front.

"But we have to look at ourselves to perform. Villa come second."
