"We are absolutely delighted," said Warnock. "It's a fantastic opportunity for our younger lads in particular to play against the top of the range.

"It gives Liverpool two great games for them to be able to take a look at our youngsters. We have one or two who could play in the Liverpool side now.

"And the fans are looking forward to this one. They've not had any glory for a long, long time.

"They've had some fantastic excitement throughout the competition and the main thing from our point of view is that it's going to make us a lot of money."
