Following the goal he was awarded against Brighton in the last round Steven Gerrard has 149 goals for the Reds. The skipper is now eyeing 150 in a red shirt when Stoke visit Anfield on Sunday.

The No.8 has 12 FA Cup goals to his name with only seven scoring more for the club in the competition.

Here are the rest of the FA Cup quarter-final facts and figures from club statto Ged Rea.

Liverpool's record in the FA Cup (all rounds including prelims):

Pld 408, won 217, drawn 89, lost 102, goals for 684, against 386.

FA Cup head to head: Pld six, Liverpool four wins, two draws, Stoke no wins.

The sides are meeting for the fourth time this season. Stoke won the league meeting at home 1-0 (Jon Walters penalty) and drew at Anfield 0-0. Sandwiched in between was the Reds' 2-1 win at the Britannia in the League Cup with Luis Suarez scoring twice after Stoke led through Kenwyne Jones.

Liverpool have won all four previous FA Cup ties between the clubs with the tie being decided at Anfield each time.

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. The Reds went on to lose to Wimbledon in the final.

Two of those ties were decided in a replay and in the six meetings in total Stoke have never scored.

Since losing 4-3 to Stoke here in March 1959 Liverpool are unbeaten in 32 meetings at Anfield in all competitions, winning 28 and drawing four.

In league and cup, the Reds have won 48, drawn 12 and lost three at home to Stoke in 63 meetings.

Liverpool are playing in the quarter-final of the Cup for the first time since they last lifted the trophy in 2006.

They are in the last eight for only the second time in 11 seasons. The last three occasions they have featured in the quarter-finals they have gone on to play in the final.

The last time Liverpool were drawn to play all four rounds at home was in 1976-77. They beat Everton in the semi-final before losing to Manchester United at Wembley.

Prior to that the last time was 1970-71 when, again, they beat Everton in the last four.

In the League Cup final at Wembley last month Jamie Carragher broke Ian Callaghan's club record by playing in his 211th cup game for the Reds.

Liverpool have won each of their last three FA Cup quarter-finals, and lost only one of the last 15 games in the last eight.

Fourteen players have scored FA Cup hat-tricks for the Reds at Anfield. The last man to achieve the feat was Yossi Benayoun in 2008 against Havant & Waterlooville.

The last time Liverpool beat the previous season's beaten finalists was in 2006 when they beat Manchester United 1-0 thanks to a Peter Crouch goal.

If Liverpool go on to lift the Cup it will be the fourth time that a club has won the FA Cup and League Cup in the same season - Chelsea (2007), Liverpool (2001) and Arsenal (1993) being the others.

The Reds are aiming to reach the FA Cup semi-final for the 23rd time.

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).

Steven Gerrard's hat-trick for the Reds against Everton last Tuesday was his fifth for the club. He joins Harry Chambers and Billy Liddell on five. Only eight players have scored more hat-tricks for Liverpool including Sam Raybould (6) who is next in the captain's sights.

The Reds are four goals short of recording 100 in all games during Kenny's second spell as manager.

Liverpool have scored 15 goals in four cup ties at Anfield this season.

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 Potters are aiming to become the first team to beat Liverpool at this stage of the competition since Tottenham won 2-1 at Anfield in March 1995.

Stoke have scored in only two of the last nine visits in all competitions and in only four of the last 19 trips to Anfield.

City are in the sixth round for the third consecutive season. In 2010 they lost to Chelsea, but last season they went on to their very first final in the competition.

They are looking to reach their fifth semi-final having previously appeared in 1899, 1971, 1972 and 2011.

Peter Crouch played 11 times for Liverpool in the FA Cup, scoring five goals. He started for the Reds in the 2006 final against West Ham. In the Hammers team that day was current teammate Matthew Etherington.

This is the first time Stoke been drawn in all four rounds of the FA Cup away from home in the same season.

They could play in successive FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1972.

Stoke have conceded only three goals in their last six games.

The 0-0 stalemate on this ground two months ago was Stoke's last drawn game. Since then they have won four and lost seven of 11 games.

In their last 12 games City have scored nine goals, with four of those coming against teams outside of the Premier League.

Stoke have had three players sent-off in their last eight games - Robert Huth against Sunderland, Rory Delap at Crawley and Ricardo Fuller at Chelsea last weekend.

Asmir Begovic, who has shared goalkeeping duties with Thomas Sorensen this season, has played in all three FA Cup ties during this run.

Robert Huth has scored in both his FA Cup appearances this season.

Peter Crouch has found the net in two of his last three games for the Potters.

Tony Pulis's men are hoping to become the eighth club since the war to win the FA Cup a year after losing in the final. The others were Charlton (1947), Manchester City (1956), Manchester United (1977 and 1996), Arsenal (1979 and 2002) and Liverpool (1989).

They have conceded just four goals in their last 10 FA Cup matches.
