Liam Dunne says there's no lack of belief in the Wexford camp that they can upset Waterford on Sunday afternoon.

The Slayneysiders are priced as 9/2 outsiders to defeat Derek McGrath's side in the first of two All-Ireland quarter-finals at Semple Stadium and Dunne is that confident his side can once again defy their underdogs tag, having deservingly defeated Cork last time out.  

"I wouldn't say it's bonus territory for us," Dunne told RTE Sport.

"We've had two very good performances against Offaly and Cork and we deserve to be there.

"We are meeting a Waterford team that are a little bit wounded from the Munster final, but we're there on merit and we'll focus on our own game and are looking forward to a huge challenge. 

"We believe we can beat Waterford. It's just a matter of going and doing it now."

Throw-in on Sunday at Thurles is at 2pm.
