One of the matches of the upcoming FA Cup stage will be played on Saturday at Anfield, where Liverpool will host Accrington. We suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Liverpool started 2025 on a sour note, failing to win in their first two matches. In the Premier League, the Reds drew with Manchester United, who continue to rebuild their game. The match was tense – Liverpool had plenty of chances for victory, but excessive risk towards the end cost them the win. The final score was 2-2.
Another disappointment came in the first semi-final match of the League Cup against Tottenham. Despite the narrow loss (0-1) and the late conceded goal, there is no need for panic. Jurgen Klopp's team will have a chance to make up for it in the return match, where they can still turn the situation in their favor.
Accrington continues its battle for survival in the fourth tier of English football, sitting in 19th place with a 5-point cushion over the relegation zone. The team has been going through a rather unstable period: in the last two matches of December, they suffered defeats – at home against Salford (0-2) and away to Carlisle (1-2).
However, the beginning of January brought success – they won 3-2 at home against Grimsby and then won 2-0 in an away match against Colchester. In the FA Cup, Accrington showed good results, defeating Rushall 2-0 and drawing 2-2 with Swindon (winning 4-1 on penalties), which allowed them to continue their campaign in the tournament.
Probable Line-Ups
- Liverpool: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Konaté, Alexander-Arnold, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Jones, Salah, Díaz
- Accrington: Crellin, Woods, Owu, Rawson, Lav, Humbeni, Martin, Woods, Hunter, Wylie, Jonathan
