- The Reds have not lost at Anfield in any competition this season (W5, D8).
- Liverpool have won 3 of their last 4 games at home against United (1 draw).
- United currently nursing 11 men on the treatment table and Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Phil Jones and Nani could all miss out.
- Man Utd is the most successful club in FA Cup history (11 times winners) and they are looking for successive fellow big name scalps, having ousted Man City in the 3rd round.
- United have lost only 3 times in their last 21 away games in all competitions.
- Liverpool striker Luis Suarez still serving his suspension and manager Kenny Dalglish has to assess the fitness of his players after their Carling Cup exploits against Man City in midweek.
- United have the best away defence in the Premier League while Liverpool the 3rd tightest home defence.
- Gerrard has recently returned from injury and continues to be an inspirational figure for Liverpool. He scored in both Carling Cup semi-final games against Man City and has a very decent record against United in their recent meetings (3 goals in his previous 4 appearances).
