Three days after a disappointing defeat to Spurs, Liverpool are back in action against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur handed Liverpool only their second loss under Arne Slot in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals, but there is no time to dwell on the result. Not only do the Reds have a massive Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on the horizon, but they also must handle business in the third round of the FA Cup.
Their opponents, Accrington Stanley, sit 19th in EFL League Two, giving Slot the perfect opportunity to rotate his preferred XI. While the likes of Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk get a rest, bench players and even a few teenagers will get the chance to log significant minutes and prove their worth to Slot.
The manager announced Jarell Quansah is available for the match after coming off in the first half against Spurs due to illness. Dominik Szoboszlai also returned to training ahead of the fixture. The only other doubt for the Reds is Tyler Morton, who rolled his ankle midweek. Joe Gomez remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Here's how Liverpool's XI could look like against Accrington Stanley on Jan. 11.
