Sunday football tips: Liverpool stars aiming for FA Cup and Afcon success

Liverpool supporters will be hoping to see their side advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup for only the second time in seven attempts under Jurgen Klopp when they host Cardiff in Sunday's midday kick-off.

The Reds will be missing star forwards Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, who go head to head in the Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Egypt, while FA Cup holders Leicester's tricky trip to Nottingham Forest is another of the day's highlights.

Cards bet of the day

Nottingham Forest v Leicester BBC One, 4pm Sunday

Forest's FA Cup clash with local rivals Leicester should be a feisty contest and midfielder Jack Colback is a tempting bet to be shown a card. He has picked up five yellow cards and a red in 14 home games this term and was also booked in last weekend's defeat at Cardiff.

Best bet
Jack Colback to be shown a card

Stat of the day
