The last time Rudy Gestede faced Liverpool , he missed a penalty in the biggest game of his career so far as Cardiff lost the 2012 League Cup final in a shootout at Wembley . It took three years for Gestede to get another chance from the spot – scoring against Stoke City last month to help Blackburn through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup – and the striker will not be afraid to step up again if Rovers win a penalty at Anfield on Sunday . ‘ Yeah , I would take it , ’ said the Benin international . ‘ That was a great final but penalties are a lottery and I missed mine . I remember it to this day . It ’ s still the biggest game I ’ ve played in . Rudy Gestede misses his penalty for Cardiff City during the 2012 League Cup final against Liverpool . It took three years for Gestede - now at Blackburn Rovers - to get another chance from the spot . The 26-year-old sent Stoke City keeper Jack Butland the wrong way in the previous round of the FA Cup . ‘ I was younger then and I was a bit tired because it was the end of the game after extra-time . ‘ That remains the only penalty I have missed . But it ’ s gone , it ’ s finished , it ’ s behind me . It ’ s going to be a different game on Sunday. ’ Gestede ’ s 15 goals this season have not gone unnoticed in the Premier League , and Blackburn rejected a £3.5milion offer from Crystal Palace in the January transfer window . After scoring against Swansea and Stoke in the earlier rounds , the 26-year-old sees Sunday ’ s game as another opportunity to showcase his talents . Blackburn face Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday , and Steven Gerrard could return to the Reds ' starting XI . Gestede attempts to add to his tally of 15 goals this season in the recent defeat at home to Norwich . Gestede has the opportunity to move to the Premier League during January but chose to wait . He added : ‘ If I can do well against Liverpool I can show Premier League clubs that the speculation was there because I ’ m a good player and not just because I ’ m tall and score a few goals with my head . ‘ It was close with one club but I spoke a lot with the manager and he helped me to stay focused and think about Blackburn . ‘ Nothing happened so in my mind I never left the club . It was a good chance to play in the Premier League but I wasn ’ t that disappointed . ’
