Liverpool will begin their FA Cup journey as they host League Two side Accrington Stanley at Anfield.
Liverpool, the 2022 FA Cup winners, begin their campaign with hopes of better success than in recent years. Their last FA Cup victory was their only one in nearly two decades. Last season, they were knocked out in a 4-3 extra-time loss to Manchester United in the quarter-finals. Recently, they were held to a 2-2 draw by United in the Premier League, preventing them from extending their lead at the top.
Accrington Stanley, playing in League Two, face a tough challenge, with Liverpool's strong record at this stage of the competition. The teams last met in 1956, when Liverpool won 2-0. Accrington have never lost a third-round FA Cup tie, though they’ve lost three times in the fourth round to Premier League sides.
Accrington enter the match in good form, winning both their 2025 games so far, and have moved five points clear of the relegation zone. They’ll look to make the most of this rare opportunity against Liverpool, though a win seems unlikely.
