Hopefully Liverpool rotate here and James McConnell is handed a start. He did against both Norwich and Southampton in this competition last season.
The 20 year old loves a card. In 14 appearances for the U23s he’s been booked 9 times. His last appearances came in the Carabao cup when he came off the bench against Southampton with less than 30 mins to plan. He got booked.
Whilst low cards have been predicted by most tipsters in these mismatch fixtures, it’s easy to see why McConnell will be keen to impress if given the chance and get stuck into tackles.
At 11/1 given his record the price is just too big to ignore. He’s as short as 5/1 at some bookmakers.
1pt – James McConnell to be Carded v Accrington Stanley @ 11/1
