Liverpool 0-0 Blackburn Rovers: FA Cup – as it happened

6.00pm GMT14:00

Well, that was a fairly turgid encounter, especially in the second half when Rovers defended magnificently, and everything Liverpool did was just a little bit off. Passes were half a yard this way when they should've been that, the finishing was a bit off, they couldn't quite break their doughty opponents down.
That'll be all from me. Cheers for reading, drive safely.

Only 2 teams have stopped Liverpool from scoring at Anfield in the last 3 months: Championship sides Bolton & Blackburn.

88mins: Cairney tackles Balotelli, FK to Liverpool and Cairney yellow carded. Ridiculous. 0-0

88 mins: Blackburn on the attack, shifting it around and creating some space, but it all falls down when a cross from Taylor hits the first man. Cairney then gets a yellow card for putting his studs into Balotelli's knee.

85 mins: Not Liverpool's day, this. Johnson puts over a cross from the right that Balotelli is crowded out of, then Sterling gets to it at the far post but can't decide whether to go with head or foot. He elects for the former, but it still goes wide.

83 mins: Liverpool win a corner that drops to Henderson, who batters a shot towards goal but Eastwood saves with his legs. Coutinho then dances around half the Blackburn defence with some utterly absurd control in the box, reached the byline, cuts back then tries a ludicrous shot from a tight angle, and it goes wide.
