Rush relishing double header
Ian Rush believes Liverpool's double header with Everton will provide two hugely contrasting spectacles.
The Reds legend is relishing the prospect of two Merseyside derbies within the same week and feels the outcome of each game will have a significant bearing on both the title race and the eventual winner of the FA Cup.
"It's a long time since we played them in the cup so we were probably due another clash," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"It's amazing that we will have to play them twice in one week, but I do think the league and the cup will be two completely different games.
"Everton will want to win the cup game as it represents their only chance of silverware and I think Liverpool would probably prefer three points in the league.
"But that's not to say they won't want to go out there and win the cup game too.
"I think all the players on show will want to win the FA Cup and it would be nice to do it having beaten Everton along the way.
"I have to say that I feel whoever wins the match has a great chance of lifting the cup and if Liverpool win the league match it will give them a huge boost and put them back on top.
"Both sides are in good form, so they promise to be two intriguing encounters and I can't wait for them to start now."
