Liverpool will face League Two side Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup as the Reds enter the competition in January, with the two sides meeting for the first time in 69 years.

Accrington Stanley, a club with a rich history of overcoming adversity, is set to face Liverpool in the FA Cup, marking their first encounter with the Premier League giants in 69 years. Founded in 1968 after the original club folded, Accrington Stanley has climbed from the depths of non-league football to secure a place in the English Football League (EFL). They've experienced significant moments like winning the FA Trophy in 2018 and reaching the EFL Trophy final in 2019. Currently, they are positioned 13th in League Two, with their manager John Coleman, who has been with the club for over two decades, leading them through this historic match. This game not only represents a David vs. Goliath scenario but also a chance for Accrington Stanley to showcase their resilience and spirit on a national stage.
