FA Cup: Liverpool vs Accrington Stanley
Arne Slot’s men face two away games after Accrington, at Nottingham Forest and Brentford, and the Dutchman is likely to keep that in mind when naming his squad.
Team news
Liverpool are likely to make major changes, although the team will still have a strong starting XI given their strength.
Players such as Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo are likely to start, with Slot also considering which players will be left out against Spurs.
Dominik Szoboszlai could return from illness, although Jarell Quansah remains a doubt following his early withdrawal in midweek.
Accrington will compete at full strength with no injuries reported in camp.
Expected lineups
Liverpool: Kelleher, Bradley, Endo, Konate, Tsimikas, Elliott, Nyoni, Morton, Chiesa, Danns, Nunez
Accrington: Crellin, Rawson, Love, Awe, Walton, B Woods, Khumbeni, Conneely, Whalley, Hunter, J Woods
