In the previous stage of the FA Cup, Liverpool also played at home. Their opponent in the fourth round was the representative of the Championship, Norwich City. The match ended in a confident victory with a score of 5:2. The previous weekend, the Merseyside club faced Chelsea in the final of the English League Cup. At Wembley Stadium, the Reds took their opponents to extra time before winning thanks to a goal from van Dijk. Liverpool leads the English Premier League standings, one point ahead of Manchester City.

Southampton's opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup was Watford. On the road, the Saints sealed a draw with the Hornets with a score of 1:1. The teams had to hold another game, and then Southampton sent three unanswered goals into the opponent's gates. After this victory, they had five matches in the Championship - two wins and three defeats. The last two games ended with the club's defeat at home with the same result, 1:2. With 67 points, Southampton occupies the fourth line in the standings.

A few weeks ago, Southampton was considered the main pursuer of Leicester City in the Championship, but because of the poor game in the last rounds, it has already fallen to fourth place. Liverpool returned home after a triumphant performance at Wembley and winning the English League Cup. The Merseyside club continues to play effectively, even considering their lineup problems. We do not expect this factor to affect the outcome of the upcoming match - Liverpool will advance to the quarterfinals.
