Pepe Reina reveals that he is motivated to challenge Brad Friedel's consecutive appearance record.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has revealed that he would love to one day emulate Tottenham Hotspur stopper Brad Friedel.

The 40-year-old American has not missed a Premier League game since 2004.

A start at Anfield tonight will mean that the Spurs man will have played in 290 consecutive matches at the top level of English football.

The 29-year-old Spaniard, who will make his 176th consecutive league appearance for Liverpool in the game, is in awe of the record.

He told The Mirror: "I would love to beat Brad's record one day but I know it's going to be very difficult."

Friedel's remarkable feat includes his time at previous clubs Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa.
