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:

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.”

It is the location of a block of six flats, one of which was the scene of a murder that linked Liverpool and Accrington Stanley Football Clubs, a television milk advert and Merseyside’s violent drugs scene.

"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."

This is the first meeting between Liverpool and Accrington Stanley in all competitions, though the Reds did beat the original Accrington side 2-0 in the 1955-56 FA Cup third round.
