Despite the Reds’ impressive form this season, Premier League A draw with Manchester United preceded a disastrous first-leg defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup semi-finals.
Being bogged down again at Anfield this afternoon would be a disaster, but Slott’s much-changed side still need to overcome the physicality of their opponents and get the job done.
For some, this is a huge opportunity. Rio Ngumoha, 16, showed his precocious qualities but Harvey Elliott Who might be the biggest winner of the afternoon.
Harvey Elliott makes his case
Accrington Stanley may be struggling in League Two, but there’s something about the FA Cup that ekes out a quality against the giants that those lower-tier sides don’t know.
But Elliot calmed the giant-slaying beast, sportsman james pierce Praising the 21-year-old’s “outstanding” performance. It’s been a difficult season for the playmaker, who suffered a broken foot in September and has been on the fringes of the slot program.

He has four goals and four assists apiece in 26 games this season, marking a dip in the team’s output since Jurgen Klopp left Merseyside.

Liverpool will certainly feel they can do better and will have to look to cash in on Nunez for the best possible price.
