Non-leaguers look to make history
Havant & Waterlooville manager Shaun Gale is getting ready for the biggest game in the club's history as they visit premiership side Liverpool at Anfield.
"Anything is possible in football and I would never send a side out just to enjoy it," Gale said.
"It's the FA Cup and we will be going out to win like we do every game."
Gale added: "We're going to go with the attitude that we can get something."
"The boys have come up with a fantastic achievement in earning the right to play a club steeped in history, with millions of pounds worth of players.

"But it can't be a day trip, we have to treat it like we treat all our games.
"The day that any team turns up at a football ground thinking they can't win should be the day they pack up.
"It doesn't matter who you play, you've always got to have that belief that you've got a chance. The boys have got nothing to fear."
Club secretary Trevor Brock said: "It's a dream come true for the players, and this kind of tie is what the FA Cup is all about.

"Financially, it will be a fantastic boost for us - we will be about £300,000 better off. We have planning permission for a new stand, and that project will move forward far quicker than it might have."
