Liverpool v Accrington
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 11th January at 17:45
🏆
Competition: FA Cup
This Saturday’s FA Cup fixture sees Liverpool hosting League Two side Accrington Stanley as both teams prepare to secure their spot in the 4th round.
Liverpool have only been eliminated at this stage of the competition once in their last 13 FA Cup campaigns, meanwhile, Accrington have progressed to the 4th round in each of their 4 attempts throughout their club’s history.
⭐ Liverpool v Accrington Best Bet
Understandably, Liverpool are a very short price to beat League Two Accrington on Saturday. They are competing for 4 trophies and currently sit top of the Premier League and top of the Champions League league stage. They are 1-0 down after the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final versus Tottenham and now they enter the FA Cup with a favourable tie.
Liverpool are the top-scoring Premier League team this season and only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals.
Liverpool have kept 13 clean sheets in all competitions this season and win-to-nil is a market of interest here.
Adding a clean sheet to Liverpool to win takes the price from 1.05 to 1.57
🟢 Liverpool v Accrington #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
The fixture is an opportunity for Darwin Nunez to find some confidence and an interesting way to get onside with him is to play him to take the first shot on target in each half.
Nunez has taken 26 shots in domestic competitions this season with a 46.2% on target ratio. He is averaging a shot every 42 minutes that he’s on the pitch.
In continental football, Nunez’s shot volume increases and he averages a shot every 24 minutes
👕 Liverpool v Accrington Predicted XI
🔍 Liverpool v Accrington Players to Watch
🔵 Donald Love
No team in League Two have picked up more yellow cards than Accrington’s 70. Their main culprit is right-back Donald Love.
Love has 9 yellow cards to his name this season. He averages 1.19 fouls per 90.
Yellow cards are nothing new for Love. In his last three seasons, he has collected 8,11 and 7 bookings.
There’s some value in his price to commit fouls against Liverpool too. Love is Ex-Man United spending his youth career with the Red Devils.
He’s committed 2 or more fouls in 8 games this season, 2+ in 2 of his last 4 matches, and 1+ fouls committed in 8 of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Accrington top the fouls committed table in League Two and Love will likely come up against Nunez and Elliot.
SkyBet are best price on 1+ and 2+ fouls by a significant amount:
➡️ Love to commit 1+ fouls against Liverpool @ 1.40 on SkyBet
➡️ Love to commit 2+ fouls against Liverpool @ 2.75 on SkyBet
🔴 Harvey Elliott
Harvey Elliott has only played 204 minutes of Liverpool football since Arne Slot became manager but the young midfielder should have an opportunity to make an impression here.
In his one full 90 this season, away at Southampton in the Carabao Cup, Elliott fired in 3 shots at goal.
That could be an indicator of what’s to come here. The price isn’t exciting but Elliott should have plenty of chances to get shots away.
🔴 Federico Chiesa
Italian wide man Federico Chiesa is another player that will be looking to use the cup tie versus significantly weaker opposition to build upon his minutes and his confidence.
Chiesa has played just 143 minutes of Liverpool football all season. He has 1 assist but is yet to score for The Red Men.
This is a good opportunity for Chiesa to kick-start his Liverpool career.

💻 Liverpool v Accrington Form and Tactics
It would be untrue to suggest that Liverpool are out of form. But Sunday’s 2-2 league draw with Manchester United and Wednesday’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg 1-0 defeat to Tottenham is the first instance this season of Liverpool going 2 games in a row without a win.
Arne Slot has done a wonderful job since his appointment in the off season with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign quickly fading into the memory bank.
Saturday’s match with Accrington gives Slot the opportunity to play some youngsters and some fringe players. The likes of Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Harvey Elliot, Federico Chiesa and Darwin Nunez could all get some gametime.
Accrington have put together 2 much needed wins in League Two in the leadup to this FA Cup tie. Beating Grimsby 3-2 and Colchester 2-0 has seen Stanley put a 5 point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone.
Accrington tend to play with a 4-2-3-1 shape but it’s likely that will be tweaked into a 4-5-1 for their visit to Anfield.
