Round tips Reds as favourite

Everton assistant manager Steve Round believes that Liverpool are slight favourites going into the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

Round says the experience they have had in the past at Wembley will help them play the match rather than the occasion.

He isn't reading too much either into the fact that they have a much better recent record then the Reds in the Premier League.

Round said: "I don't think we feel we are underdogs but we do feel Liverpool are probably just slight favourites.

"But the gap has closed dramatically and we are almost on an even keel.

"I think Liverpool just have the edge and I think the bookmakers will see it that way but our boys have steel in their eyes at the moment."

David Moyes' side have lost their last two clashes with their cross city rivals but Saturday's clash gives them the opportunity to avenge those defeats.
