Will Steven Gerrard score his 150th Liverpool goal against Stoke?
Stoke and Liverpool have played each other 6 times in the FA Cup, with the latter winning 4 and drawing 2. The last occasion the teams met in this competition was in 1988 when Liverpool won a third round replay on this ground thanks to a Peter Beardsley goal. That was the year we lost in the Final to Wimbledon.
The last time we progressed this far in this competition in 2006, we went on to win it.
Liverpool has not lost to Stoke at Anfield since 1959. Liverpool have won all four previous FA Cup ties between the clubs with the tie being decided at Anfield each time. Stoke have never beaten Liverpool in 11 previous meetings in FA Cup and League Cup - losing eight and drawing three. In those clashes they have scored six and conceded 23.
The sides are meeting for the fourth time this season.
Stoke 1-0 Liverpool [League]
Liverpool 0-0 Stoke [League]
Stoke 1-2 Liverpool [League Cup]
Liverpool could eliminate two teams from the League Cup and FA Cup this season - Brighton being the other one - after only achieving the feat once before in their history (Burnley 1994-95).
