Plymouth Vs Liverpool Prediction: The Reds Must Be Alert If They Want To Succeed In All Evens

Liverpool will continue their journey in the FA Cup against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Sunday, February 9, 2025. The Reds, who have just confirmed their place in the League Cup final, are now eyeing a win to advance to the next round in an effort to win another trophy this season.

Arne Slot's squad is in an impressive form after destroying Accrington Stanley 4-0 in the third round of the FA Cup. They also just eliminated Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup semifinals with a similar score, securing a ticket to the final against Newcastle United next month.

Liverpool are currently at the top of the Premier League standings and have confirmed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. However, they must remain vigilant when they travel to Plymouth headquarters, considering that only two of their last five away matches ended in wins.

On the other hand, Plymouth Argyle successfully created a surprise in the third round of the FA Cup by eliminating Premier League team Brentford. Morgan Whittaker's goal in the 82nd minute ensured a historic victory for the Championship team. Although Whittaker has now left Middlesbrough, the win over Brentford provided additional motivation for Plymouth who also just ended 15 games without a win in the league by beating West Bromwich Albion 2-0 last week.

Interestingly, the last meeting of the two teams in the FA Cup in the 2016-17 season ended in a 0-0 draw at Anfield, forcing Liverpool to rematch before finally qualifying for the next round.

Liverpool will compete without Trent Alexander-Arnold who is still recovering from a hamstring injury. Young midfielder Tyler Morton is also sidelined due to a shoulder injury. However, Arne Slot has many options with possible player rotation, including playing Joe Gomez or Jarell Quansah at right-back.

Some of the players who have the potential to enter the starting XI are Kostas Tsimikas, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, and Federico Chiesa. In the front line, Diogo Jota is predicted to start after appearing productive in this away match.

In the host camp, Plymouth had no new injury problems after a win over West Brom. However, Kornel Szucs (must injury), Brendan totalway ( hip injury), and Joe Edwards (hamstring injury) are still absent.

The new Malachi Boateng player has the opportunity to make his home Park debut, while Ryan Hardie, who scored twice in the last game, will most likely be trusted as a starter.

With the advantage of player quality, Liverpool are seeded in this match. However, Plymouth, who has proven himself capable of defeating the Premier League team, will certainly not give up, especially with the full support of his supporters at Home Park.

Plymouth Argyle (3-4-2-1): Hazard; Pleguezuelo, Katic, Taloverov; Sorinola, Houghton, Randell, Mumba; Wright, Baidoo; Hardie.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Neckneck; Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Endo, Mac Allister; Chiesa, Elliott, Diaz; Jota.
