Liverpool is set to host Barnsley in the third round of the English FA Cup on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at Anfield. Liverpool, currently in the top four of the Premier League, is considered the favorite due to their attacking strength, though manager Arne Slot may rotate the squad. Barnsley, a League One side struggling with consistency and sitting 17th in their league, faces a significant challenge. The match carries historical weight, recalling Barnsley's 2008 upset victory over Liverpool in the same competition.
