Liverpool have reportedly set their asking price for midfielder Harvey Elliott amid reports linking him with a move away from Anfield.
On Saturday afternoon, Elliott was named in Arne Slot's starting lineup as Liverpool took on League Two side Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup.
After two disappointing performances, Slot's men were in rampant mood as goals from Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa sealed a comfortable 4-0 victory for the Premier League leaders.

Prior to the match, there were reports linking midfielder Elliott with a move away from Liverpool due to his lack of minutes this season. He currently finds himself behind the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones in the pecking order.
Clubs such as Brighton and Hove Albion and Borussia Dortmund have reportedly shown an interest in signing the 21-year-old.
It has now been claimed that Liverpool have set an asking price for the player.
As reported by The Sun, Liverpool would want a fee of around £35 million - £40 million to part ways with Elliott.
So far in the 24/25 season, Elliott has only managed 43 minutes across seven matches in the Premier League.
Speaking about Elliott this week, Liverpool boss Slot said: "I agree with you he’s a talented player. He’s been this for us for so long.
"In recent weeks he comes in quite a lot and gets his minutes over there, but like it is for him, like it is for all the others, they are in competition with many other good players as well."
He continued: "He was very unlucky that after two games he got injured, was out for a long time. And from what I’ve seen until now, with almost all of our players that have been out for quite a while, in this league, in this tempo, in this intensity, and the quality we have, the other teams have as well, it is not so easy to come back and be at your best immediately.
"I see this not only with Harvey, I see this with almost all the other players that have been out for five, six, seven or eight weeks. That is the balance we have to find, by giving them playing time to get back to their best level but still be able to win every game."
Liverpool are back in Premier League action next week when they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Tuesday night.
