Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has earmarked Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke as the danger man ahead of the two side's FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley on Sunday.

While Liverpool are considered favourites heading into the meeting, Villa certainly are more than capable of causing an upset and with Benteke currently firing on all cylinders, the Reds most certainly cannot underestimate their opponents.

Lallana is keen to stress the fact and has stated that if Liverpool are to claim a victory on the day, they will have to negate the influence of the dangerous Belgian who has eight foals in his past six outings and four in five against the Merseysiders.

"They've picked up and had a great result at Tottenham last week. That shows they are definitely in good form," he said.

"Benteke is finding the net again so we have to keep our eye on him, but we'll be concentrating on ourselves and playing well. We have enough in our team to win.

"We said at the beginning of the season our aim was to get to the final of a competition and win some silverware. We are still in that position at the moment. Liverpool is known for winning lots of silverware and I think it's important that we continue that this year."
