Liverpool Faces Accrington Stanley in FA Cup

Liverpool will host Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup at Anfield, aiming for a strong start to their campaign. Manager Arne Slot plans to rotate his squad, with key players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk likely to rest, while Federico Chiesa may return to the starting lineup. Accrington, currently struggling in League Two, has had a mixed season with injury setbacks, and their defense has been a concern, conceding 32 goals in 24 matches. This match marks only the second competitive meeting between the two clubs since their last encounter in 1956. Despite Accrington's recent victories, Liverpool's depth and home advantage make them heavy favorites for this clash. The FA Cup remains a competition where surprises can occur, but Liverpool's dominance at home in this tournament is expected to prevail.
