This fixture will see the vast gulf between Premier League heavyweights and lower-league opposition. The Reds are entering this tie sitting fourth in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Barnsley are battling near the bottom of League One.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Liverpool&rsquo;s recent league form has been draw-heavy. Arne Slot&rsquo;s side are unbeaten in 10 matches across all competitions. Now, they will be keen to avoid another FA Cup embarrassment after last season&rsquo;s shock exit. Meanwhile, Barnsley are arriving with poor away numbers and limited attacking output. It makes this a heavily one-sided contest on paper.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#127942; We head to Anfield.<br><br>&#10145;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NJtyd4TQTx\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/NJtyd4TQTx<\/a> | 18+ | Gamble Responsibly <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3HVzJXxwEn\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/3HVzJXxwEn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Barnsley FC (@BarnsleyFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarnsleyFC\/status\/2010637947528188272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 12, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>You can find more of our soccer predictions on our main picks hub.

Across Liverpool&rsquo;s last 10 matches in all competitions, Mac Allister has averaged 0.34 expected goals plus assists (xG+xA) per 90 minutes.<\/p><p>It was driven by late box arrivals, progressive passing, and set-piece involvement. Mohamed Salah is away at AFCON and heavy rotation is expected in the forward line. Hence, Mac Allister&rsquo;s creative responsibility increases significantly. Barnsley&rsquo;s defensive numbers away from home provide further encouragement.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In their last 10 away fixtures, the Tykes have conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game. And they&rsquo;ve allowed a high volume of shots from central zones, particularly from second-phase attacks. Mac Allister thrives in these scenarios. He often arrives unmarked at the edge of the box or threading passes through compact defensive lines.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Liverpool&rsquo;s expected dominance in possession (projected above 65%) should place Mac Allister in advanced midfield areas for prolonged spells. Against a League One side likely to defend deep, his shooting from range and ability to create chances from half-spaces make him a consistent contributor to the scoresheet.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liverpool vs Barnsley Prediction<\/h2><p><strong>Our pick: Liverpool to Win at -1000 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>) \/ -1100 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p><p>Liverpool&rsquo;s extremely short price on the moneyline reflects a mismatch that is difficult to argue against. The Reds are unbeaten in 10 straight matches across all competitions. They&rsquo;ve registered an average xG differential of +1.15 per match during that run. Whereas, Barnsley have struggled to generate consistent attacking threat in League One.<\/p><p>They&rsquo;re averaging under 1.1 xG per game across their last 10 fixtures. Anfield further tilts the scales. Liverpool have lost just once at home this season in all competitions. And they continue to post elite defensive numbers. The Reds have conceded fewer than 0.9 expected goals per home match.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Even with squad rotation expected, Liverpool&rsquo;s second-string options carry significant Premier League and European experience compared to Barnsley&rsquo;s largely domestic lower-league squad. Barnsley&rsquo;s away form compounds the issue.&nbsp;<\/p><p>They have won only two of their last 12 away matches. They&rsquo;ve registered six defeats and four draws. They&rsquo;ve also failed to score in four of those games. Their suspension issues in midfield and lack of recent match rhythm (due to postponed fixtures) further weaken their chances of resisting sustained pressure.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div

Over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Liverpool&rsquo;s last nine domestic cup matches, especially against lower-league opposition.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Federico Chiesa is well-positioned to exploit Barnsley&rsquo;s defensive shape. In his recent appearances, Chiesa has averaged 3.6 shots per 90 minutes. A high percentage came from inside the penalty area. His direct dribbling and willingness to attack the byline should trouble Barnsley.<\/p><p>Especially considering they tend to concede a high number of crosses and cut-backs on the road. Combining Chiesa&rsquo;s scoring upside with Mac Allister&rsquo;s creative involvement creates a parlay that captures Liverpool&rsquo;s most reliable attacking pathways, while the heavy over leans on the Reds&rsquo; volume-based chance creation.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3-Leg Bet Builder<\/h3><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leg 1:<\/strong> Total Goals Over 2.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 2:<\/strong> Federico Chiesa to score anytime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leg 3:<\/strong> Alexis Mac Allister to either score two goals or more<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combined Odds:<\/strong> +525 (via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>This builder focuses on repeatable outcomes rather than match volatility. Liverpool&rsquo;s attacking depth and Barnsley&rsquo;s away defensive issues make three or more goals a realistic baseline.
