Dalglish - Final won't distract us

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is confident next month's FA Cup final will not become a hindrance to them improving their league form.

The chance to complete a cup double in just over a fortnight's time looms large for the Reds, who are seeking to offset their disappointing Barclays Premier League results with more silverware.

But Dalglish will not accept a scenario where players think they have to save themselves for the Wembley showpiece - and he does not think they will either. "It is not difficult for them to lift themselves. They are not complacent or arrogant; we are delighted we got the (semi-final) result at the weekend but we will not get carried away."
