Liverpool vs Barnsley: Confirmed Team News and Starting XI

Liverpool kickoff their FA Cup campaign against EFL League One side Barnsley at Anfield. 

With the Reds currently sitting 4th in the Premier League and already knocked out of the Carabao Cup, this game is bigger than it looks on paper for Arne Slot’s side.

The Dutchman has already suggested that he will name a strong starting lineup for this one as he looks for a much-improved second half of the season.
