Liverpool vs Accrington – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Liverpool begin their FA Cup campaign at home to Accrington Stanley on Saturday lunchtime.

Arne Slot’s side host the fourth-tier side at Anfield, in a third-round contest full of narrative.

Having shot to prominence with the help of that milk advert featuring two young Liverpool fans in the 1980s, Accrington now take on the Merseyside giants for just the second time. The only previous encounter between the teams saw Billy Lidell score twice in a 2-0 win for Liverpool in 1956.

Liverpool are aiming to bounce back from a midweek defeat at Tottenham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, just the second loss of the campaign for the Reds.

Accrington sit 19th in League Two but have secured important wins over Grimsby and Colchester in their last two outings.
