Lucas Leiva says that Liverpool’s FA Cup victory against Blackburn Rovers has renewed their belief that they can challenge for fourth spot in the Premier League.

The Reds had lost two games in a row before their quarter-final replay at Ewood Park, however Lucas thinks their 1-0 win there, which set up a Wembley-semi-final tie with Aston Villa ,could be just the shot in the arm the side needed before their must-win game with Newcastle United this evening.

“We have to win the game,” the Brazilian midfielder told Sky Sports.

“We are at home and after two defeats, it’s important to get three points and start winning in the last seven games, starting with Newcastle.  

“It’s going to be hard but after the FA Cup game, it has given us a lot of belief to get back to winning ways on Monday night.”
