It is bottom of the Championship against top of the Premier League, as Plymouth Argyle and Liverpool clash down on the south coast. For Plymouth, staying in the Championship will be their priority this season but having won at Premier League Brentford in the last round, they will see this as a chance to cause a seismic shock. Liverpool meanwhile are the runaway leaders in the Premier League and with the title all but wrapped up, they will be keen to kick on in the FA Cup here.

Plymouth Argyle vs Liverpool Analysis
This should be a super contest in down on the south coast, with Liverpool the strong favourites to progress.
Plymouth Argyle
It has been a very tough campaign for Plymouth, who saw Wayne Rooney depart the club during the Christmas period, following a poor run of results. Consequently, Argyle are sat at the foot of the Championship table and with some serious work to do if they are to pull away from trouble. However, new manager Miron Muslic is at the helm and their 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion last time out should give them a bit of hope in their survival push. This is a complete free hit against Liverpool though and Plymouth should relish this challenge.
Team news: Plymouth should have a full squad to pick from in this one.
Plymouth Argyle Predicted Lineup:
Hazard, Katic, Talovierov, Gyabi, Sorinola, Puchacz, Randell, Houghton, Baidoo, Wright & Hardie.
Liverpool
It has been all about Liverpool this season, with the reds the team to beat in both the Premier League and the Champions League. The reds will also be hoping to add the FA Cup to their list of priorities, and this could be a good chance for them to give minutes to some fringe players here. Games like this are never easy, with all of the pressure on Liverpool but Arne Slot’s side should have too much about them for Plymouth in this one.
Team news: Joe Gomez is the only injury absentee for Liverpool here.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Elliott, Jones, Gakpo, Diaz & Chiesa.
Plymouth Argyle vs Liverpool Prediction
With these sides at complete opposite ends of the footballing spectrum, the prospect of Plymouth Argyle getting a result here does feel a little far-fetched. Liverpool will rotate their squad, with their Premier League and Champions League commitments building up and the atmosphere should be electric here. However, regardless of the personnel on the pitch, Liverpool should have too much for Plymouth here and should comfortably book their place in the hat for the 5th round.
Prediction: Liverpool to win the match – 2/11 (-550) – Rhino Bet.
Plymouth Argyle vs Liverpool – The Ultimate Bet
Liverpool to win to nil – 11/10 (+110) – Fitzdares
Plymouth will have a right good go in this one and won’t be without hope but Liverpool are so good at restricting opposition teams and this should be another clean sheet on the road.
