Liverpool host fourth-tier Accrington Stanley at Anfield on Saturday in a dream FA Cup third round tie for the minnows.

Liverpool have suffered a dispiriting week as they prepare to host an Accrington Stanley side chasing an improbable FA Cup fairy-tale.

Joe Gomez is Liverpool’s only other known injury concern, with the defender expected to miss a number of weeks after damaging his hamstring in the 5-0 win at West Ham.
