Liverpool last won the FA Cup in 2022, and while successive managers have fielded weakened teams in England’s premier cup competition, one might think they were due another crack at it.

Their team selections have left them vulnerable over the years. Last season, the Reds were eliminated in the fourth round by Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle.

• Second round: Peterborough United 0-1 Barnsley

Liverpool vs Barnsley: FA Cup third round preview

Another upset saw Liverpool knocked out by second-tier opposition in the fifth round in 2007-08.

After beating non-league Havant & Waterlooville, the Reds were defeated at Anfield by Barnsley for a place in the quarter-final. The Tykes’ scorers Stephen Foster and Brian Howard, names that must have been cursed by Rafael Benitez for years.

Liverpool have won everything worth winning since then, including the FA Cup, but Barnsley have only bettered their eventual 2008 semi-final appearance with a pair of finals in 1910 and 1912.

Tickets

The Yorkshire side made it as far as the quarter-final in 2013, losing to Manchester City after a short run to the last eight that never pitted them against Premier League opponents.

Under rookie manager and former Tykes and Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane, Barnsley beat York City and Peterborough United to set up this plum tie in the third round.

Sitting just two points above the League One relegation zone, a free hit at Anfield could be just the distraction they need.

FourFourTwo’s prediction

Liverpool 2-0 Barnsley

A lot depends on Arne Slot’s team selection but Liverpool should have too much for Barnsley on their own turf this weekend.
