Liverpool have lifted the FA Cup on eight occasions – with their last triumph coming in 2022 when they overcame Chelsea on penalties at Wembley after a goalless draw.
Not since 2010 have Liverpool lost at home in the third round of the FA Cup, when they were eliminated by Reading in a replay.
Liverpool have won all 11 FA Cup ties played on January 12 previously, the last of which came in 1988 at Stoke City, with Peter Beardsley scoring the only goal.
The Reds have faced Barnsley once before on January 12, drawing 0-0 at Anfield in the League Cup in 1982, with Liverpool winning 3-0 in Yorkshire in the replay.
Barnsley reached this stage of the competition thanks to victories over York City and Peterborough United.
The Tykes have kept just two clean sheets across all competitions in their last 25 fixtures home and away.
