Liverpool star James Milner has revealed the big change at the club's AXA training ground that he and his team-mates have been using as motivation ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Liverpool are going through a rut at the moment and are enduring a tough spell of form.
The Reds have scored just once in the Premier League since their 7-0 demolition of Crystal Palace on December 19th last year.
They’ve been dire in front of goal, and lost their unbeaten home record of 68 consecutive games without defeat this week.
Burnley came away from Anfield with a stunning 1-0 win to end Liverpool’s hopes of going four years at home without loss in the league.

Now, Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to face Premier League leaders Manchester United, a week on from their 0-0 draw in the league at Anfield.
And Milner has revealed a change the club made at the training ground that he has found to be movitation for himself and the rest of the team.
The famous ‘Champions Wall’ previously adorned the halls at Melwood before the club moved to the new facility in Kirby, and has now been replicated at the AXA Center.
The wall lists the different trophies Liverpool have lifted throughout the years with a number below signifying how many times they’ve lifted each trophy.

And speaking to the club website, he explained that he wants to add to the tally for the FA Cup and help the Reds win the competition for the eighth time.
"It’s always special when you win any trophy and the FA Cup is a special competition," Milner told Liverpoolfc.com.
"The success we’ve had over recent years, we’ve managed to change that wall at the training ground and at Anfield with the number of trophies we’ve won.
"That’s always special and a big motivation.
