What is at stake in Liverpool vs. Barnsley?

Liverpool's chances of retaining their Premier League title are slim-to-none at this point, and adding another FA Cup to the club's collection could help to put some shine on what has been a dire season so far.

However, Slot looks likely to rotate his team heavily on Monday, just as he did when the Reds were dumped out of the EFL Cup thanks to a 3-0 loss against Crystal Palace back in October.

With that in mind, this clash could see a rare start for the likes of youngsters Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni, both of whom have found minutes hard to come by, even given the Merseysiders' injury woes of late.

Meanwhile, Barnsley will be relishing the chance to take on the top-flight champions at Anfield, and a triumph against the giants - even with a second-string XI - would go down in club history.

Hourihane's Tykes are 17th in League One at the moment, 10 points short of the playoff spots, but with 25 third-tier games to play, victory in the cup could help to spark their campaign into life.
