"The Seagulls head to Merseyside aiming to respond after a 2-0 league defeat at the same venue in December. The Reds recovered from a narrow loss to Manchester City by recording a 1-0 win away to Sunderland in midweek, with Virgil van Dijk's second-half header winning the game. The result strengthened Liverpool's push for a top-four finish, leaving them sixth in the Premier League and within touching distance of the Champions League places with 12 matches remaining."
"Anfield has historically been a difficult venue for Brighton. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 11 home meetings with the Seagulls, winning eight and drawing three, a run stretching back to 1983. This will be the seventh FA Cup meeting between the clubs, with each team having progressed three times previously. Despite their strong home record in this fixture, Liverpool's recent history in the fourth round is less convincing, having been eliminated in six of their last nine ties at this stage."
