  1. Liverpool v Accrington: Sutton's predictionspublished at 18:03 GMT 10 January 2025

    Chris Sutton's predictions with Billy Bob Thornton

    BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made his predictions for all 32 FA Cup third round games and given his verdict on who will make it into round four.

    For this week's matches he is up against actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton, who is a Liverpool fan.

    Sutton's prediction: 4-0

    This will be a great day out for Accrington but you can't really make a case for them against the Premier League leaders, no matter what side Arne Slot puts out.

    It will be a team of fringe Liverpool players but it will still have great quality. Their success so far this season is because their squad is so strong.

    Billy's prediction: 3-1

    I love to root for the underdog, except when they are playing my team!

    Newport County has announced the dates of two rearranged League Two fixtures.

    The game against Morecambe, which was due to be played at Rodney Parade last Sunday (5 January), will now take place on Tuesday, 4 February at 19:45 GMT.

    It was postponed due to small areas of the field being deemed unplayable by the match referee.

    County's League Two fixture at Accrington Stanley has been moved to Tuesday, 11 March at 19:45 GMT.

    The match was due to be played on Saturday, 11 January, but had to be postponed due to Accrington's progression to the third round of the FA Cup, in which they will face Premier League leaders Liverpool.

    Newport will now return to action on Saturday, 18 January with a trip to Port Vale.
