In the five FA Cup ties between the clubs played at Anfield, the Reds have won all of them, scoring 10 goals without reply.

In the last 13 encounters in league and cup, Liverpool have won 10 and drawn twice.

The Reds have kept six clean sheets in the last seven home games against Southampton.

Liverpool are currently on their longest winning streak at home against Saints (six victories) since 1979, when they won 12 in succession.

In the last round, James McConnell made his first Reds start to become one of 93 different players to appear in the competition under Jürgen Klopp.

Klopp's men have lost just two of their last 25 domestic cup matches and scored in 49 of their last 50 fixtures in all competitions.

If he plays, Trey Nyoni would become Liverpool's youngest ever player in the FA Cup (aged 16 years and 243 days) and the third-youngest player in the club's history after Jerome Sinclair (16 years and six days) and Harvey Elliott (16 years and 174 days).

Yossi Benayoun, against Havant & Waterlooville in 2008, is the last Red to score an FA Cup hat-trick. That is one of 19 trebles scored by a Liverpool player in the competition.

Martin faces Liverpool for the first time as a manager. He once scored at Anfield – the equaliser for Norwich City in a 1-1 Premier League draw back in September 2015.
