Liverpool vs Cardiff City preview
Liverpool head into today’s game in good form. Klopp’s side is unbeaten in six games; unbeaten at Anfield all season, and is just nine points behind Man City at the top of the EPL table and with a game in hand. It should be noted that Liverpool are the only team putting any pressure at all on the Citizens at the top of the division.
Cardiff, meanwhile, are ranked some 39 places beneath Liverpool in league standing and currently in the midst of a Championship relegation battle.
So, in terms of ability and form, this is certainly Liverpool’s game to win. But, as we’ve already seen this weekend, lower league teams do have the propensity to pack a punch in cup competition. For evidence of this, just speak to West Ham, Chelsea, and Manchester United fans today!
But, despite the fact that we’ve already seen lower league sides take EPL opposition into extra time and, in Middlesborough’s case, eliminate a top-four EPL side on pens, a win for the Bluebirds at Anfield is still most unlikely:
Klopp’s Reds have defeated Cardiff City in each of the last six meetings between the side, most recently, 4-1 at home and 2-0 away in the 2018/19 EPL season.
Cardiff City also have the fourth-worst defensive record in the entire Championship, shipping close to 2.0 goals per game.
Against a high-powered Liverpool offense that’s already put five past Manchester United, five past Porto, and four past Arsenal this season, and that’s been just as trigger happy in the absence of star attackers, Mane and Salah (AFCON), it’s hard to imagine the Bluebirds holding up.
When does Liverpool vs Cardiff City kick off?
The Liverpool vs Cardiff City FA Cup fourth-round match kicks off at 12:00 GMT on Sunday, February 6 at Anfield, Liverpool.
