Anfield will be buzzing on Wednesday night as Liverpool, fresh off their EFL Cup victory, return to FA Cup action to face Southampton in the fifth round. Kickoff is at 8 PM UTC, and the atmosphere promises to be electric, with Liverpool aiming to keep their quadruple dream alive and Southampton hoping to pull off a cup upset.
The Reds, known as "The Reds," are still chasing an unprecedented quadruple, having already secured the EFL Cup. They'll be riding high after their dramatic 1-0 win over Chelsea in the final. Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be key figures as they look to continue their winning momentum and maintain their assault on all four trophies.
Southampton, nicknamed "The Saints," are currently playing in the Championship (second English division) and will be eager to cause an upset against their Premier League rivals. Despite their recent 2-1 defeat to Millwall, they'll be hoping to replicate their giant-killing performance from the previous round, where they knocked out Manchester City.
