Kenny: We’re in safe hands with Brad

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is confident third-choice goalkeeper Brad Jones has the character to come through his biggest test since arriving at Anfield.

The Australian international is set to face Everton today in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley in what will be only his fourth appearance for the club and his first start in 16 months.

Since arriving from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2010, as former manager Roy Hodgson’s signing, Jones has suffered a personal tragedy with the death of his five-year-old son Luca from leukaemia in November 2011.
