Havant boss hopes for sensational upset

Havant & Waterlooville manager Shaun Gale is optimistic of causing a dramatic upset at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool host Havant in the FA Cup fourth round as outright favourites to defeat the non-league side. But Gale is quietly confident that his men can shock Liverpool, despite The Reds sitting 123 places higher up the league ladder. "It has finally arrived. We are just taking it easy for now," he told Sky Sports News. "We will get together and have a team meeting this morning; we have got a few things we need to go through, regarding the game. "Then we will chill out for a couple of hours have a bit of pre-match and then we are off to Anfield.

Nerves

"I think the nerves will start to kick in. A few will handle is better than others but it is down to me as a manager to try and settle their nerves. "I have just said to them 'Yes it is at Anfield, yes it is Liverpool, but it is a football match'. "We are under no illusions about the difficult task we have got, but we have got a chance. Anything is possible in football. "Everyone is betting against us, we are the underdog, but the pressure is on them."
