LIVERPOOL V MAN UNITED: STAT ATTACK
With kick-off fast approaching, here are all the important stats and facts ahead of the big Cup clash with Manchester United at Anfield.
The last time Liverpool won a Fifth Round tie was in 2001 when the Reds defeated Manchester City 4-2 on the way to winning the F.A.Cup and ultimately the 'treble'.
The last Liverpool player to score a hat-trick in the competition was Stan Collymore whose three goal haul came against Rochdale in 1996.
This game will be Liverpool's 19th Cup game of the season.
The last player to score a winning goal for Liverpool against United in the F.A.Cup was Harry Chambers in January 1921.
Liverpool have only ever beaten Manchester United once at Anfield in this competition. It came in February 1898 when United were called Newton Heath.
The sides last met in the F.A.Cup in 1999 when Liverpool lost 2-1 at Old Trafford. Only seven players in the Reds squad that day are currently at Anfield and one of those, Robbie Fowler, is cup-tied. The other six that all started were Dudek, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Gerrard and Hamann.
Since that game, however, the Reds have defeated United in both the League Cup Final and Charity Shield (both in 2003).
Sami Hyypia scored his first goal for Liverpool in a league game against United here in September 1999.
Only Jamie Carragher and the cup-tied Robbie Fowler are now at the club of all the players who appeared against United in the last F.A.Cup meeting in 1999.
In Round Three Liverpool won 5-3 at Luton and in the process scored five away from home in the F.A.Cup for the first time since 1947.
Only Manchester United have prevented Liverpool from scoring in the Premiership at Anfield this season.
Liverpool are just two goals short of recording 150 under Rafa Benitez in all competitions.
The last opposition player to score against the Reds at Anfield in any game was Geremi for Chelsea back in early October. Since then the Reds have conceded just one goal in 12 home games and that was an own goal against Birmingham.
This tie is only the second time Liverpool have been drawn at home in the F.A.Cup in the past four seasons.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 12 games at Anfield in all competitions.
United have gone on to reach the Final or won the Final itself on the last five occasions the teams have met.
The only time United have beaten Liverpool at Anfield in the F.A.Cup was in 1960 when Bobby Charlton scored twice in a 3-1 win.
They have won the F.A.Cup on a record eleven occasions-one more than Arsenal, and along with the Gunners have played in a record 17 Finals.
They are attempting to reach the Final for a third successive season.
Last year they became the first team to lose the Final on penalties after a goalless draw with Arsenal.
So far this season United have overcome Burton Albion after a replay in Round Three and won at Wolves in the Fourth Round. They have yet to concede a goal.
United have appeared in six of the last twelve Finals but did not take part in the competition in 1999-2000.
Although they have won the trophy eleven times they have never managed to successfully defend it.
Of the team that lined up against Liverpool in the last meeting in 1999 only Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs of the starting eleven are still at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Paul Scholes came off the bench.
Sir Alex Ferguson has managed a team to F.A.Cup success on a record five occasions.
United are unbeaten in their last four visits to Anfield-all in the league.
At this stage of last season's competition United won on Merseyside - 2-0 at Everton.
Since being eliminated from the Champions League by Benfica in December, United have lost just two of the last 18 games. Both of those were in the North-West - at Manchester City and Blackburn.
Louis Saha has scored in each of his last five starts for United.
Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, is looking for his first goal of 2006. His last back in December came at Birmingham.
Gary Neville celebrates his 31st birthday on the day of the game.
United's last three games in all competitions have seen 17 goals scored with United scoring ten of them. |
