I don't have access to the full content of the article at that link. The search results only provide the headline "11 from 11: Liverpool have a lucky charm to defend in Barnsley FA Cup tie" and basic match information, but not the article's body text. I cannot create a fictional article based on the headline, as you've requested I avoid that approach. To provide you with an accurate summary, I would need the complete article text. However, I can offer you the match details available from the search results: **Liverpool vs Barnsley - FA Cup Third Round** - **Date & Time:** Monday, January 12, 2026, 7:45 p.m. GMT[3] - **Venue:** Anfield, Liverpool, England[3] - **Referee:** Farai Hallam[3] - **Context:** Liverpool begins their FA Cup campaign against League One strugglers Barnsley, with 57 places separating the two teams in the football pyramid[3] - **Manager Note:** Arne Slot has confirmed he does not want a repeat of Liverpool's shock FA Cup exit from last season[2] - **Team Form:** Liverpool have recently shown inconsistency, with draws against Arsenal (0-0), Fulham (2-2), and Leeds (0-0)[4] - **Injury News:** Conor Bradley will miss the remainder of the season due to a significant knee injury requiring surgery, while Hugo Ekitike's availability is uncertain due to a hamstring concern[4] If you need the complete article summary, you may want to visit the original link directly or provide the article text for me to summarize.
