Our Albion reporter Tim Hodges will endeavour to bring you all the action as it happens from the match.
Albion’s Scouse midfielders Craig Noone and Alan Navarro were no doubt leaping around their respective living rooms as the draw was made.
A just reward for Saturday’s superb 1-0 victory against Premier League Newcastle United.
The teams last met in the FA Cup 21 years ago. On Saturday 26 January 1991 Albion, then in the old Second Division, now the Championship, held Liverpool 2-2 at Anfield in the 4th round.
When the top flight club came back to the Goldstone four days later Albion went out 3-2 in one of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish’s last games in charge.
Steve McMahon had put the Reds ahead but a Mike Small equaliser meant that the match went into extra time. A John Byrne goal gave Albion a 2-1 lead. But Ian Rush pulled one back before McMahon nabbed the winner five minutes from the end.
