Stats: Reds target 20th quarter-final
Liverpool will aim to continue an outstanding record in the League Cup when they host Swansea City in the fourth round this evening - here are all of the pertinent pre-match facts and figures.
The club's all-time record in the League Cup shows 130 victories, 43 draws and 44 defeats from 217 fixtures, with 438 goals scored and 213 conceded.
This tie is a meeting between two of the three most recent winners of the competition - Liverpool in 2012 and Swansea the following year. A win tonight would put the Reds into the last eight of the tournament for the 20th time in their history.
The Reds reached this round by defeating Middlesbrough 14-13 in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw, with Jordan Rossiter - on his debut - and Suso scoring their first goals for the club.
Liverpool have now played in seven penalty shootouts in the League Cup, losing only twice - to Wimbledon in 1993 and Northampton Town at Anfield in 2010.
This is the third time that the teams have met in the competition; Liverpool won in the third round at Anfield in 1968 by a 2-0 scoreline, while the Swans won 3-1 in round four, also on the Reds' ground, two years ago.
The Reds have scored in all but two of their last 50 League Cup games, a sequence dating back to 1998, and at Anfield in the competition have found the net in all of the last 26 matches.
Martin Skrtel's only goal in this tournament came in 2012 against Welsh opposition - Cardiff City - in the final at Wembley. The defender scored an own goal in Liverpool's 4-3 league win against the Swans in February.
Swansea reached this round by winning two home games, firstly beating Rotherham United 1-0 before goals from Nathan Dyer, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Marvin Emnes accounted for Everton.
Only once in their history have the Welsh side gone beyond this stage of the competition - in 2012-13 they beat Liverpool on the way to the final, where they beat Bradford City 5-0. Current boss Garry Monk came on as a second-half substitute in that Anfield win.
Jonjo Shelvey played for Liverpool when these two sides last met in the League Cup in October 2012. He has scored in both of Swansea's meetings with his old club since he left in the summer of 2013.
The two teams are separated only by goal difference in the Barclays Premier League having won, drawn and lost the same number of games, as well as scoring the same number of goals - 13.
