Preview: Mansfield Town vs. Liverpool

Sports Mole previews the FA Cup third-round tie between Mansfield and Liverpool as the Reds look to avoid a huge upset.

Liverpool travel to Conference side Mansfield in the FA Cup third round on Sunday looking to avoid one of the biggest cup shocks of recent times.

The hosts go into the match in relatively good form having lost just two of their past 13 games in all competitions, a run that has left them ninth in the Conference.

Liverpool are also in good form, having won back-to-back matches 3-0 and won six of their last eight games in all competitions.

The Reds will be without long-term injury concerns Fabio Borini and Martin Kelly, while the likes of Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez are likely to be rested. There could be a debut for new signing Daniel Sturridge, however.

Recent form

Mansfield: DWWLW

Liverpool: LWLWW

Mansfield: Marriott; Dempster, Beevers, Thompson, Geohaghon; Murray, Daniel, Clements, Meikle; Green, Howell

Liverpool: Jones; Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Johnson; Lucas, Shelvey, Sahin; Suso, Sturridge, Downing

Sports Mole says: 0-4
