Liverpool´s record in Super Cup: Pld 6 Won 3 Drawn 1 Lost 2.
Liverpool will become only the third team after AC Milan (6) and Barcelona (5) to play in five Super Cup Finals.
Should Liverpool win they will become only the third team to win the trophy three times joining Ajax (3) and AC Milan (4).
However, if the Reds were to suffer defeat they would become only the third team to lose three Super Cups - Bayern Munich and Barcelona are the others have each lost three.
Liverpool previously won the trophy beating German teams. In 1977 they beat SV Hamburg 7-1 on aggregate and in Monaco in 2001 they won 3-2 against Bayern Munich.
Of the 18-man squad that played for the Reds in this game four years ago only Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Dietmar Hamann and John Arne Riise remain at Anfield. They all started that game.
John Arne Riise scored his first Liverpool goal in that Super Cup victory on this ground.
Momo Sissoko was an unused substitute in Valencia´s 2-1 victory over FC Porto in last year´s Super Cup. Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho had coached their respective teams to qualification for the game but had left months before that meeting.
Despite a glittering career Fernando Morientes has made just one Super Cup appearance. It came seven years ago when Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Chelsea.
The Reds are still looking for three goals to register 100 in all competitions since Rafa Benitez took charge.
Liverpool have failed to score just once in six previous Super Cup games (at Juventus in 1985) but have also kept only one clean sheet (against Hamburg in 1977).
This is the 31st European Super Cup. It was first contested in 1972 when Ajax beat Rangers 6-2 on aggregate. From 1972-1999 it was contested between the winners of the European Cup and Cup Winners´ Cup. Since 2000 the UEFA Cup winners have battled it out with the Champions of Europe.
The European Cup winners have won just two of the last eight meetings in this match. In 2002 Real Madrid defeated Feyenoord and a year later AC Milan beat Porto.
Since the Super Cup became a one-legged game in 1998 only Liverpool (2001) and Real Madrid (2002) have scored more than two goals in a game.
CSKA Moscow will become the second Russian team to play in the Super Cup. Dynamo Kiev beat Bayern Munich 3-0 over two legs in 1975 and lost 1-0 to Steaua Bucharest in 1986.
