Is Liverpool vs Cardiff City on TV? FA Cup fourth-round live stream details and team news

Liverpool host Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon as Jurgen Klopp's side look to continue their fight for silverware on all fronts.

The Reds are already in the final of the Carabao Cup, have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League and will have hopes of making ground on Manchester City in the coming weeks.

Shrewsbury Town were the side Liverpool last defeated to reach this stage of the FA Cup, and manager Klopp will be hopeful his players can produce a similar performance witnessed in that 4-1 victory.

Sunday's Championship opponents have previously experienced how it feels to suffer a cup defeat to the Reds, having lost the 2012 League Cup final between the clubs on penalties.

Team news

Luis Diaz completed an individual workout programme following his arrival from Porto and could be in contention for a debut.

It seems unlikely that the Colombian will be throw into the starting XI, though there is a possibility of the 25-year-old featuring as a substitute.

Commenting on the likelihood of Diaz making an appearance, Klopp told reporters: “If he would have been here yesterday [Thursday] and could have trained a little bit, I would have considered it definitely. Now, I don’t know.

“Let’s have a look. I wouldn’t say no because I would be excited as well. A few minutes in a sold-out Anfield is nice. But let’s see.”

Harvey Elliott could make his return after a lengthy spell on the sidelines, after it was confirmed he will be included in the matchday squad.

Discussing Elliott's current situation, Klopp added: “He is in a good place and is in full team training now, but we have to see what is right for him – is it right to start [or] is it right to come on?”

Elsewhere, Divock Origi and Thiago Alcantara could also be back for the Reds after injury issues.
