THE FA CUP WITH BUDWEISER
Date: Sunday, 27th January
Kick off: 16:00 GMT
Venue: Boundary Park
Head-to-head
•Liverpool have won 20 of the 30 previous meetings with Oldham, drawing four and losing six.
•Their most recent clash was in front of the Anfield faithful in last year's third round of the FA Cup, when the Reds ran out 5-1 winners, with five different scorers.
•This is the fifth time they have been drawn against each other in the FA Cup, and Oldham are yet to knock out their illustrious Merseyside opponents.
Oldham Athletic
•Oldham have beaten progressively higher ranked opposition in Kidderminster, Doncaster and Nottingham Forest to reach the fourth round for the first time in five years.
•The League One outfit, who last graced the fifth round and the semi-finals for the third time in their history 19 years ago, are eager to claim a first Premier League scalp since Everton in the third round in January 2008.
•The third-round victory over Nottingham Forest was Oldham's only win in their last nine league and cup games; Paul Dickov's side go into this match on the back of three straight defeats.
Liverpool
•Last season's runners-up have won six of their last seven FA Cup ties, scoring 20 goals along the way.
•Liverpool are seven-times winners, but have not claimed the trophy since 2006.
•Bolton were the last third tier club to disqualify them, with a 2-0 victory in a third round replay at Anfield in January 1993.
