FA Cup Preview: Oldham Athletic Vs Liverpool

Written by Matthew Winter

Oldham will really by hoping for the Magic of the FA Cup when they take on in form Liverpool at Boundary Park. Oldham have only picked up 1 win in their last nine games, a 3-2 win in the last round at Nottingham Forest, where Liverpool have finally found some form that saw them sweep Norwich aside 5-0 last time out.

Oldham are without club captain and midfielder Dean Furman who is on national team duty with South Africa at the Cup of Nations. This paves the way for lifelong 'Pool fan James Wesolowski to captain the home side. Brad Jones will again deputise for Pepe Reina who is ruled out with injury. Full backs Jose Enrique and Glen Johnson are both doubts with hamstring problems.

Kick off: 16:00

Soccer Xtra Prediction: Oldham 1-2 Liverpool
