Liverpool vs Accrington Stanley: Unbeaten Reds face plucky minnows




Liverpool will be looking to continue their impressive start to the season when they host League Two side Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

The Reds have won 11 of their last 12 matches in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last week.

Accrington Stanley, meanwhile, are enjoying a good season in League Two and currently sit in eighth place.

However, they face a tough task against a Liverpool side that is full of confidence and looking to add to their trophy cabinet.

Liverpool team news

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to make changes to his side from the team that beat Manchester City.

With a busy schedule ahead, Klopp could give some of his fringe players a chance to impress.

Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all doubts for the match.

Accrington Stanley team news

Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman has a few injury concerns ahead of the trip to Anfield.

Defender Ross Sykes is out with a long-term injury, while forward Ethan Hamilton is also a doubt.

However, Coleman has a strong squad to choose from and will be confident of causing an upset.

Prediction

Liverpool will be heavy favorites for this match, but Accrington Stanley will be hoping to pull off a giant-killing.

However, the Reds are in excellent form and should have too much quality for their opponents.
