The Reds overcame Chelsea on penalties in a gruelling and thrilling Wembley encounter and showed their strength in depth by winning their fifth-round tie at Anfield despite making 10 changes to their starting XI.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Takumi Minamino </strong>was on-target twice as the Merseysiders reached the quarter-finals. The Japan international - an unused substitute against Chelsea - opened the scoring when he was teed up by Divock Origi to drive in from close range, adding a second just before half-time when he was left unmarked at a corner to hit a great strike into the roof of the net.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Victory means an unprecedented quadruple remains a possibility but boss <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jurgen Klopp</strong> was keen to play down the potential clean sweep of trophies and instead praised his squad depth.

The Hammers fell behind to a 30-yard screamer, although <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Michail Antonio </strong>levelled on the hour mark.

But we gave away a terrible second goal and the third didn't matter. We didn't do well enough to get through. I thought in the first half we had a lot of the ball but not the quality in the final third. We didn't take our half-chances. It's disappointing but probably didn't deserve it."</span></p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Reds strong favourites at Anfield</span></h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat in the reverse match at the London Stadium back in November - the Reds' only reverse in 11 recent matches with West Ham (W8-D2-L1).

As hosts, the Merseysiders are unbeaten in 17 league outings (W13-D4-L0), winning the last eight by an aggregate 26-2.

And the Hammers have tended to fall short on the road to elite opposition - the visitors have W0-D1-L4 at top-half tams, averaging only 0.38 xG.</span></p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Tough week could impact goals output</span></h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Understandably, the goal expectancy and respective goal lines have been set high for Saturday evening's showdown. <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Over 2.5 Goals </strong>has been chalked up at just <b class="inline_odds" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #161616; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="8/15"><span class="inline_odds__decimal" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1.53</span></b> and is bound to go close with Liverpool on-show - Jurgen Klopp's outfit have covered the line in 19/26 (73%) Premier League matches, including 9/13 (69%) at Anfield this term.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">But with West Ham producing stubborn and impotent efforts when travelling to the division's leading lights, there's a potential for this contest to fall below goal expectations.
