Lincoln vs Liverpool kick-off time, TV and live stream information
[ad_1]
Lincoln City’s reward for swatting Bradford City aside 5-0 in the Carabao Cup is a third round tie at home to Premier League champions Liverpool.
The League One side raced into a 2-0 win inside nine minutes last week, and were four goals to the good by half-time.
They now come face-to-face with the Anfield side for the first time since 1961, when both sides were in the old Second Division.
Reigning Premier League champions Liverpool are the competition’s most successful team, winning the cup on eight occasions, although it’s been eight years since their last triumph.
Lincoln’s best performance is reaching the fourth round in the 1967/68 season.

Lincoln vs Liverpool odds
The Imps have scored in all five games they have played this season, have won all five, including an EFL Trophy penalty shoot-out win over Scunthorpe – and have scored in the opening 11 minutes of each of their last three games.
But thepools.com have them at a big 11/1 to make it six of the best against Jurgen Klopp’s second XI.
The much-changed Reds are 1/5 for a reason though. Their second string was too good for MK Dons and Arsenal last season, before a virtual third team had to face Aston Villa and lost 5-0.
And they will have some international quality still on show. Mo Salah and Sadio Mane predictably top the first scorer markets, but neither is likely to start.
Instead look at Divock Origi at 10/3 and the stand-out selection of Takumi Minamino. He is 11/2 first scorer.
