Liverpool v Havant & Waterlooville...
Non-league side Havant and Waterlooville are preparing for the biggest game in their history as they tackle Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Anfield today.
The part-timers are 123 league places below the five-time champions of Europe, but manager Shaun Gale insists the 'Hawks' are not travelling north to simply make up the numbers.
"It's 11 against 11 and anything can happen over 90 minutes," said Gale, a former Portsmouth player who has been managing Havant for just three months.
"I'm very proud of our boys but they've a job to do and we're going to give it our best shot."
Paddy Power told Sky News Online: "They're a 66-1 shot but in all honesty there's more chance of Elvis Presley riding the winner in this year's Grand National!"
The Havant team all have day jobs ranging from plumbers to binmen, from physiotherapists to delivery drivers. Defender Neil Sharp thinks it would take him four years to earn what some of the Liverpool stars pick up in a week.
