Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is prepared for a revved-up Accrington Stanley when the teams meet in the third round of the FA Cup at Anfield on Saturday.

Dressed in a Liverpool kit, one of the young actors tells his friend: “It’s what Ian Rush drinks. He said if I don’t drink lots of milk then when I grow up, I’ll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley.”

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup game against Accrington Stanley (kick-off 12:15 GMT). Here are the key lines from his news conference:

"We are not silly, we know how good Liverpool are but we are just going to absorb every minute. "As a Liverpool fan, I can't wait until they sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and feel the atmosphere. I'll be touching the 'This is Anfield' sign, but obviously I want Accrington to win."

One of Ian Rush’s roles as a Liverpool ambassador sees him entertain guests at the club’s home matches, and Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley will be no exception. But an invitation to join the Premier League leaders’ record goalscorer at Anfield has rarely seemed more fitting than that received by Carl Rice for the two clubs’ first meeting in almost six decades.
