Oldham's Zander Diamond cannot wait to face Liverpool in the FA Cup having last visited Anfield on a ground tour.

The Latics set up a mouthwatering third-round tie on Merseyside after defeating Southend 1-0 on Tuesday night. Scottish centre-half Diamond admits to having a soft spot for the Reds and visited their home last summer. "Liverpool is steeped in history and is my England club," he told Oldham's official website. "To have done the ground tour and now to go back as a player is magical. It is a day I intend to soak in and enjoy. "It is the romance of the FA Cup and one of the reasons I decided to come to play in England last summer. "To be able to rub shoulders with the cream of Liverpool is going to be magical and I am hoping everybody will have a great day out."
