Liverpool travel to Luton on Sunday aiming to avoid an early exit from the FA Cup.
The pair served up a cup classic when they met in the third round in 2006 with Liverpool finally prevailing 5-3 at Kenilworth Road.
Liverpool will be hoping that the draw is a good omen for them as they went on to win the cup in 2006 after overcoming Luton.
Luton, who were docked ten points after going into administration in November, go into the game in good form after winning three of their last four matches.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is expected to shuffle his pack for the trip south after a busy festive programme.
Ryan Babel, Yossi Benayoun, Lucas and Andrei Voronin could all be handed places in the starting XI.
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has been ruled out with a calf problem.
Luton are still without suspended duo Chris Coyne and Anthony Grant.
Sam Parkin is pushing for a recall after recovering from injury and Paul Furlong could start after a hamstring problem.
Veteran striker Paul Peschisolido is ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious ankle injury.
