Liverpool will be hoping not to join the list of FA Cup upsets this weekend as it hosts League One side Barnsley at Anfield later.
Arne Slot's side takes a break from its top four challenge in the Premier League as it begins the road to Wembley, aiming to avoid a similar fate to the likes of Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, who have both been on the wrong end of shocks over the past few days.
And having been embarrassed by Plymouth last season, Slot looks to be taking a stronger stance on the cup this season, with the competition perhaps representing the Reds' best chance of silverware this season.

Early team news
Liverpool has been handed a major blow ahead of today's game, with Conor Bradley out for the rest of the season after picking up what the club described as a "significant" knee injury at Arsenal.
He joins Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni, Jayden Danns and Stefan Bajcetic on the sidelines. Wataru Endo is also set to miss today's game, althought the midfielder is expected to make a return to training in the coming days.
Slot has also revealed that Hugo Ekitike could return after missing the last two games with a hamstring problem. The Liverpool boss has hinted he will field a strong team, although we can probably expect a few changes from Thursday's game at the Emirates.
As for Barnsley, the visitors will be without club captain Luca Connell as he serves a three-match ban after being sent off against Wigan.
Left-back Nathanel Ogbeta is back available though, while fellow defenders Marc Roberts and Georgie Gent are slight doubts. Center-back Eoghan O’Connell could be handed his debut after signing for the Tykes on Wednesday.
