Welcome back everybody for another round of live football from England and it's back to the FA Cup this time as Stoke City travel to Anfield to play Liverpool. I'm Karl Matchett and I'll be your commentator for this fascinating encounter.

The prize on offer for winning a quarterfinal alone these days is pretty impressive—a trip to Wembley guaranteed, as the semifinals will take place at the home of English football.

Liverpool were only at Wembley last month as they triumphed over Cardiff City in the Carling Cup final, while Stoke City went all the way to this competition's final last season where they were eventually defeated by Manchester City.

With the two sides having already met three times this season and the record being one win apiece and a draw, it is too close to call who will triumph at Anfield—join me for all the best match day build-up, team news, in-game action and plenty of analysis after the final whistle.
