Liverpool are not in the best mood for the upcoming cup match. The day before, the Merseysiders played the first semi-final match of the League Cup away against Tottenham and suffered a 0:1 defeat, conceded the decisive goal at the very end, although they had the advantage, made seven shots on target, but this time the implementation was not at its best. In the Premier League, Arne Sloth's charges also did not have the best match in the last round against Manchester United, where a 2:2 draw was recorded. However, Arsenal could not take advantage of the competitor's misfire, played a draw themselves and the gap remained at the level of six points with the Merseysiders having a game in hand.

EnglandCurrent form
Accrington represents the Second League, the fourth most important English football division. The team does not solve serious tournament problems, in the last two rounds they won against Grimsby (3:2) and Colchester United (2:0). Thus, they managed to break away from the relegation zone by five points, being in 19th place in the table.

5.60Tip and bets
It is unlikely that Arne Slot will field his main squad for the cup game today. However, even taking into account the rotation, Liverpool will have a noticeable advantage in class. Accrington, even at the Second League level, is not among the leaders, on the contrary, they are close to the fight for survival, only due to two previous victories they managed to create a small gap from the relegation zone. We do not expect much intrigue in the upcoming meeting and recommend a betting tip for a confident victory of the favorite with a crushing score.
Our prediction is Liverpool win with Asian handicap (-3) at odds of 1.79
Bet on total
Accrington, even at the Second League level, are not distinguished by a reliable defense, conceding almost two goals on average per match. It will be very difficult for the Premier League to contain the best attack on the road today. We suggest playing a bet on the total over goals scored.
The second bet is total over four goals with odds of 1.83
Bet on corners
There is a high probability that Liverpool will spend almost the entire match at the opponent's goal, after all, there is a huge gap in class between the opponents. In this scenario, we expect the hosts to confidently win on corners.
Prediction - Liverpool win on corners with Asian handicap (-5.5) with odds of 1.60
