Liverpool begin their 2024/25 FA Cup campaign at home to Accrington Stanley in the third round, yet fans already want to know the key details for the fourth round draw.
The Merseyside outfit received a kind draw as Liverpool kick off their latest quest for a ninth FA Cup trophy with a home fixture against League Two opposition in Accrington Stanley. The Wham Stadium side have also struggled in the fourth tier this season to be 19th in the table.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have been flying higher under Arne Slot this season to sit atop the Premier League table and also top the league phase of the Champions League. Now, the FA Cup comes into focus as top-flight squads enter the world’s oldest knockout competition.
Only Arsenal and Manchester United who will also meet in the third round have won the FA Cup with 14 and 13 trophies more often than Liverpool, Chelsea plus Tottenham Hotspur so far with their eight titles. Liverpool also last won the FA Cup in 2021/22 under Jurgen Klopp.
Manchester United are the current FA Cup holders after Erik ten Hag orchestrated a 2-1 win over local rivals Manchester City at Wembley in 2024. The Citizens would have moved level with Liverpool on eight FA Cup titles in 15 finals if they won in Man City’s 13th final reached.
Slot will now look to guide Liverpool into a 16th FA Cup final and potentially their ninth title, starting with the third-round tie with Accrington Stanley at Anfield on January 11. With that, Rousing The Kop has looked ahead at the key information for the FA Cup fourth round draw.
