Recommended Bet: Back Liverpool to win 2-1 @ 9.40
The latest of those Blackburn quarter-final replay disappointments was as recent as 2013 - at home to Millwall - and Opta have an abundance of stats pointing to Liverpool progressing to Wembley. In addition to the above, the Reds got through three of their previous four FA Cup clashes with Rovers and the two that went to replays, while their qualification rate in recent quarter-finals is 15 from 16.
If Liverpool are to advance, they should do it in 90 minutes. That was what they did to win in all the earlier rounds and they rarely draw away. Just one of their 15 Premier League road trips finished level (only QPR have shared fewer spoils) and a mere one of their five domestic cup away dates too.

All three of Liverpool's FA Cup away games this season have ended 2-1 to the Reds

Regardless of whether Liverpool's FA Cup hosts are from League Two (AFC Wimbledon), the Championship (Bolton) or the Premier League (Crystal Palace), they treat them all the same. The Reds give them more than a glimmer - Bolton and Palace led 1-0, AFC Wimbledon were holding them 1-1 after an hour - then rally for a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Six of Blackburn's past seven defeats were inflicted by one-goal margins, as were their last 15 at Ewood Park dating back to the start of 2013. Two of Liverpool's most recent three triumphs over them were 2-1s.

Daniel Sturridge has scored ten goals in his last 13 FA Cup starts

Some will interpret Liverpool's perceived underperformance this term as proof that Sturridge isn't that special - that he can't carry a mediocre team in the manner that Luis Suarez could. However, it is no coincidence that their best run of 2014/15 - six wins in seven - coincided with his return from injury, and that they have a 64% success rate with him starting compared to 42% without.
Despite managing just nine domestic starts, the England international has contributed five goals, and the FA Cup has always been his most productive competition.
