BRISTOL ROVERS could face a daunting trip to Anfield in the next round of the FA Cup if they win next week's replay against Norwich. 

The Gas drew 1-1 against the Canaries in their FA Cup third round tie on Saturday, meaning the game has gone to a replay to decide who will face the six time European champions. 

The replay takes place at the Memorial Stadium on Wednesday evening (January 17.)

Rovers boss Matt Taylor was full of praise for his team after the Norwich match. 

He said: “I’m so pleased with the performance, so pleased with what the team and what the club stood for in terms of the effort on the pitch and the effort from the fans.

“We did have a threat about us, especially in that first half. Our keeper doesn’t feel he has been over-worked.

“I think we defended our box pretty well, set-pieces included, so a step in the right direction. We are still in the draw. We don’t feel it’s a missed opportunity. The opportunity will now come in 10 days’ time.

“I can’t complain about the performance. We’ve limited them to half-chances. Our keeper has not really had too many saves to make. So we defended our box and defensive third really well.

“You always want more from an attacking sense but we have to respect where the game was today, at Norwich.

“I thought it was a good standard of football – really good. Two good teams going at it. We had a threat about us.

“Second half, we had to withstand a little bit of field position and pressure that didn’t materialise to chances around our goal.

“And then you’re thinking can we go and pinch it at the end for a memorable cup victory. But we’ll take taking them back to our home patch.”

Fourth round ties are scheduled for the weekend of January 27 and 28.
