Having shot to prominence with the help of that milk advert featuring two young Liverpool fans in the 1980s, Accrington now take on the Merseyside giants for just the second time. The only previous encounter between the teams saw Billy Lidell score twice in a 2-0 win for Liverpool in 1956.

Liverpool are aiming to bounce back from a midweek defeat at Tottenham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, just the second loss of the campaign for the Reds.

Liverpool team news

Arne Slot has confirmed that Dominik Szoboszlai is in contention after training with the u-21 side this week. The Hungarian has missed Liverpool’s last two fixtures through illness. Jarell Quansah is also expected to be available after his withdrawal at Spurs in midweek.

Slot is likely to make wholesale changes to his team and could hand much-needed minutes to the likes of Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.
