Liverpool hosts Barnsley at Anfield tonight, aiming for their 10th consecutive unbeaten match and a spot in the FA Cup fourth round.
After a tough holiday schedule, Liverpool comes into this match after a disciplined 0-0 draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal. Despite facing injuries and international commitments, the team has a strong history in the FA Cup third round and is expected to handle this match with a rotated squad.
Team News
Liverpool will look to their academy depth due to recent injuries. Conor Bradley is the latest addition to the injury list following a concerning injury against Arsenal, joining Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Wataru Endo. Mohamed Salah will also miss the match due to AFCON duties with Egypt.
Due to these absences, several youth players may get the chance to play. Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha are both in line for appearances, while Calvin Ramsay could step in at right-back for Bradley. Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to start in goal, and Federico Chiesa might lead the attack as he regains match fitness. Experienced players like Joe Gomez and Andrew Robertson are likely to feature to support the side aiming to maintain their perfect January 12 record.
