Latest football commentary on Liverpool vs Accrington
Liverpool, as 2022 FA Cup winners, will be desperate for more success this season. Their victory three seasons ago remains their only FA Cup title in nearly two decades. They were knocked out last season after losing to Manchester United in extra time.
Manchester United were Liverpool's closest opponents at Anfield, drawing 2-2 in the Premier League last weekend. The EFL Cup is a competition Liverpool have had more success in recently, winning it three times in 2012, 2022 and 2024. However, they lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
The defeat ended a 24-game unbeaten run and was manager Slot's second defeat. Focus will likely shift to the next game against Nottingham Forest after this one. The gap between Liverpool and Accrington is the biggest in the FA Cup third round, so a Liverpool win is all but assured.
Liverpool have lost just once in Round 3 in the last 13 seasons, away to Wolves. This meeting with Accrington is the first time the two sides have met since Accrington were re-established in the 1960s. Liverpool previously beat their original club Accrington Stanley in this round in 1956.
Accrington will be happy to keep the score low against Liverpool. They have never lost in the third round of the FA Cup. However, they have lost all three of their fourth round ties against Premier League sides.
Accrington qualified for the first round after a replay last season, this time they qualified on penalties against Swindon Town. Doolan’s side are in good form with two consecutive wins in 2025. They are also five points clear of the relegation zone and should be able to relax a bit more in their upcoming game.
