This will be the fifth time the Merseyside rivals have met in an FA Cup semi-final and the overall score reads Liverpool 3, Everton 1. David Moyes has absolute faith in his team's ability to narrow that gap at Wembley but Liverpool have become expert at bringing their season to a point of apparent implosion only to deliver when it really matters and the cups have been Kenny Dalglish's forte this season. The return from injury of Glen Johnson and especially Daniel Agger could not have been better timed for their manager Dalglish, with goalkeepers José Reina and Doni suspended. Andy Hunter
