1st Prediction For Liverpool FC vs Accrington Stanley: Half time result: draw 319/100
The magic of the FA Cup has seen Premier League leaders Liverpool drawn against League Two relegation contenders Accrington Stanley. Consequently, the bookmakers are offering very little reward for any pro-Liverpool predictions. But, the bookmakers may have missed a trick in offering such good odds on predicting the game to be level at half time as Arne Slot’s side have gone into the break level in three of their last five games in all competitions. Additionally, Accrington have been a better team in the first half than in the second half this season. If league games finished at half time, John Doolan’s men would be seven places higher in the table and they would have nine more points to their name. Therefore, there certainly a reasonable possibility that the League Two side could maintain a solid defensive shape for 45 minutes and get to the interval with the scores even.
2nd Prediction For Liverpool FC vs Accrington Stanley: Accrington Stanley to score: yes 191/100
One could also look at predicting the League Two minnows to score, although it is a slightly less fruitful avenue than the first prediction. The away side have a reasonable attacking record, having scored 32 goals in 23 league games, and they average the same number of goals per match as Doncaster Rovers, who sit inside the League Two playoff spots. They have also been in good form in front of goal recently, scoring five times in their last two games. Furthermore, Liverpool have not been at their defensive best recently. The Merseyside giants have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven games, conceding three times against Tottenham and twice against Fulham and Manchester United in that time. During this run, they have also played lower table teams in Southampton and Leicester who both managed to penetrate their defence.
3rd Prediction For Liverpool FC vs Accrington Stanley: Diogo Jota to score at any time 31/50
Fans should also consider predicting Portuguese attacker Diogo Jota to score on Saturday. Despite only having started seven league games this season, Jota already has four goals in the top flight. The 28-year-old made his first start for Arne Slot’s team since mid-October on Wednesday and he is a player who, when fully fit, is one of the most dangerous strikers in the country. Slot will likely use the cup game against lower-league opposition to nurse Jota back to full fitness and he could be set to play 90 minutes after he was withdrawn after an hour on Wednesday night. The Portuguese also has a good record in the FA Cup, scoring five times and assisting three goals in 11 appearances in the oldest national football competition in the world. Accrington Stanley’s first-choice goalkeeper, and Everton loanee, William Crellin will have a tough time stopping Jota on Saturday.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Saturday’s encounter will be the first time that the two teams have met since the 1955/56 season. That game was also in the third round of the FA Cup and Liverpool emerged victorious by a margin of two goals to nil. Arne Slot will likely put out a rotated side but he will still expect his team to at least match the aforementioned result and start their potential journey to Wembley on the front foot. Liverpool come into the game in rather indifferent form by their high standards having won three times, drawn once and lost once in their last five games. As for Accrington Stanley, Saturday’s match marks a significant moment in the history of the club. The whole town will be immensely proud and excited to see their team walk onto the pitch at a ground as historic as Anfield and John Doolan will be hoping that his players can rise to the occasion and give Liverpool a good game. In the long-run, the money that Accrington will gain from their cup run could be vital in helping them to steer clear of relegation out of the English Football League.
