Match Preview
Arne Slot’s arrival at Liverpool has sparked an excellent start to the season for the Reds. The club already looks to be the standout choice to win the Premier League title this season, which is a feat that the Reds have only achieved once previously.
Liverpool enjoyed an excellent festive period of matches, before playing out a 2-2 home draw against Man United on Sunday. That draw means that the Reds have now picked up 13 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season. However, it would be alarming that the Reds have now fallen behind in four of their last league matches.

Accrington Stanley will be aware that they are massive underdogs for the win this weekend. The team currently plays in League Two and sits 19th in the overall standings after 23 rounds of matches. They have recorded just six wins throughout the 2024-25 season, but it could be worth noting that two of their wins have been recorded on their last two outings.
This will be a historic second meeting between the sides, and the first since January 1956. On that occasion, Liverpool ran out as comfortable 2-0 winners in the third round of the FA Cup. It would also be a concern for the visitors that the Reds come into this round with an excellent recent cup record, and a dominant record against teams from lower divisions.
Liverpool vs. Accrington Stanley Picks
