Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Accrington
Liverpool, as the 2022 FA Cup champions, are hungry for even greater success this season. Their victory three seasons ago remains their only FA Cup title in almost two decades. They were unfortunately eliminated last season after losing to Manchester United in extra time.
Manchester United were Liverpool's most recent opponents at Anfield, with the two teams drawing 2-2 in the Premier League last weekend. The EFL Cup is a competition where Liverpool have been more successful recently, winning it three times in 2012, 2022, and 2024. However, they recently lost 0-1 to Tottenham in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
That defeat ended a 24-match unbeaten run and was manager Slot's second loss. Focus may now shift to the next game against Nottingham Forest after this one. The gap in league standings between Liverpool and Accrington is one of the largest in the FA Cup third round, so a win for Liverpool is almost certain.
Liverpool have only lost once in the third round in the last 13 seasons, away from home against Wolves. This meeting with Accrington marks the first time the two teams have met since Accrington was re-established in the 1960s. Previously, Liverpool defeated the original Accrington Stanley team in this round in 1956.
Accrington would 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 times against Premier League teams in the fourth round.
Accrington advanced through the first round after a replay last season, and this time they secured qualification via a penalty shootout against Swindon Town. Manager Doolan's team is in good form with two consecutive wins in 2025. They are also five points clear of the relegation zone and can afford to be more relaxed going into the upcoming match.
