What a cup tie this is. One team bottom of the Championship, the other top of the Premier League and yet, there is the faintest whiff of an upset here. Plymouth have already despatched top-flight Brentford in the third round (under the interim duo of the first-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and the club captain Joe Edwards, the first game since the sacking of Wayne Rooney) and are on something on a hot-streak recently, drawing 2-2 at fourth-placed Sunderland and beating fifth-placed West Brom in their last two Championship matches.

All credit then to Miron Muslic, then, who endured a difficult start to life at Home Park, but seems to have galvanised the players and fans recently. It’s easy to see why: his initial address to the squad after their win at Brentford went viral. In impressive English for a man that has never previously worked in England, Muslic seems to know his way around a speech.

Of course, Liverpool are heavy favourites, not just for this match but for the competition in general, especially with Arsenal and Chelsea suffering early exits. This is their first match at Home Park since 2017, where Jürgen Klopp fielded Liverpool’s youngest-ever side – including an 18-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold – who had to settle for a frustrating 0-0 draw (“a match of never-to-be-forgotten tedium” with Liverpool winning the replay 1-0). Argyle will surely take a draw at 90 minutes today, although the game will now go to extra-time and possibly penalties if that is the case. There is also no VAR today, remember.

Important Events
38 minutes: This is a scary, enthusiastic and crude game. That was exactly what Plymouth wanted, but it's a kind of match where Diogo Jota ultimately scores two goals. Let's take a look.
36 minutes: shot! Liverpool shot! McConnell aims from range, his deflected strike is saved by a hazard, and he tilts the ball.
34 minutes: “We're already approaching 'unforgettable, boring boredom',” he emailed Joe Pearson.
Yes, it wasn't 34 minutes of ripping football. If this continues, I don't think the slots are very impressed at halftime.
32 minutes: Penalty shout on Plymouth? ! Bundu wins both in his headers and regains the loose ball before entangles Tsimikas in the Liverpool box. It's a bit clumsy and messy before the ball bounces back into Keleher. There are home claims for the penalty, but the replays indicate there was nothing there. Tsimikas did enough to ease the big Plymouth striker.
half an hour: Chiesa appears confident and chooses a pocket for Puchacz. eeeeeesh.
28 minutes: It is necessary to mention that Plymouth's offensive midfielder, Callum Wright, grew up in the same Merseyside Estate as Stephen Gerrard today, and was the mascot for the Liverpool team in the Champions League semi-finals against Chelsea in 2008. There is, but Wright's youth career is Tranmeal's Rovers and Everton.

26 minutes: McConnell has been particularly useless since moving to Liverpool's midfield. The Premier League side is really struggling because of its urgency.
24 minutes: Tarobielov, Plymouth's new 6ft 4in centre back signed by Rusk in January, snaps to a tackle with Diaz and gets a goal kick for his side, celebrating in front of goal-like home fans.
22 minutes: Chiesa has been barely kicking up until now, but the Italians work hard following the manager's pre-match wishes. Chiesa suffers from the dangers of fullbacks and prima keepers whenever he has the ball.
20 minutes: Gioni has got early appointments to steam at Randel, which has been anywhere in Plymouth. This is an annoying yellow card for Gioni, who needs to see his steps for the remaining 70 minutes. Katic has rejoined the Plymouth pitch.
18 minutes: Plymouth is a man while Katic is undergoing treatment from the pitch. Hit the hatch, young man!
16 minutes: The next player was Plymouth's back-cutting, whose excellent form was behind the recent revival on his side. I think he may have lost his front teeth after a crash with Captain Randell. The camera pans to Plymouth manager Miron Islick. He seems quite amusing in the heart of losing his teeth.
14 minutes: Liverpool hasn't resolved since re-shuffle. Elliot is usually composed like that, giving the ball to Plymouth for throwing it before placing a curse on the heavens.
12 minutes: Plymouth will win a corner for Tsimikas. The Tsimikas are whipped just below the Liverpool crossbar, while Kelleher is good for punching the ball.
10 minutes: In even worse news for slots, Gomez (Liverpool captain today) fell to an injury. Is it a recurrence of the hamstring problem that bothered his season? not clear. Gomez will have to get off! Isaac Mabaya is here for her senior debut!
Big Mods of Liverpool: Mabaya returns soon, McConnell returns midway and the end goes back to the center.
8 minutes: Plymouth captain Adam Landell gets caught up in Quanza with what appears to be a very painful tackle for Liverpool defenders. Even if it's late, it's a very “knowing Telem” challenge. it hurts.
6 minutes: Liverpool settles on a Footie based on ownership, but another good counterattack from Plymouth involves Hardy moving forward on the right and whipping a dangerous low cross towards the right, well collected by Kelleher.
4 minutes: Gomez is affiliated with Quansah and lined up at centre back, not at the rear right. Instead, McConnell is in fullback. That is, Endo plays his usual midfield role alongside teenager Nyoni.
2 minutes: Plymouth makes the streets early and gets a flick-on and releases Hardy. The striker initially avoids Liverpool's defense, but slightly dawdles and Gomez comes back to make a vital block. A great start from the home side!
Peeeeeeeep!
Currently underway at the Home Park. Plymouth is the famous green and white Liverpool, with a change of white and black kits.
“As a Liverpool fanI think starting 11 is better off getting the job done, as the bench is almost thin like I've seen,” Joe Pearson emails.
Yes, I don't know if Slot will look to his young gun in an unlikely event where things go south for Liverpool. Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunes will surely be called, but I hope to make my debut a few times if the away side is pulled apart.
The team is out! Joe Gomez is Liverpool's captain today and leads the away team. The home park is definitely shining at Devon Sunshine.
We all know half a half scarf. At the home end there is half the Plymouth/Liverpool shirt! The game is officially gone.
Elliott mentioned how young Liverpool's younger alternatives are. That's true – Darwin Nunes and Curtis Jones are the only names established on the bench.
Liverpool Manager Arn Slot speaks!
It'll be difficult. They changed managers and changed playstyle, which is a very direct playing style. There are many long balls, second balls, lots of crosses to defend.
Due to Plymouth's playing style, it would be very difficult for Chiesa to play the best football today. But what I want to see from him today is the cost of work, the fight. It will be the same for Everton too [the Merseyside derby is at Goodison Park on Wednesday]lots of long balls, lots of second balls. But I hope he can show his quality.
This is a great Ben Fisher interview With Miron Islik, the new manager at Plymouth. Please read it.
Harvey ElliottHe became Liverpool's youngest player ever when he played for GO in the FA Cup for five years and spoke to ITV cameras.
When you remind me of it, I feel like I'm old. Today we have a 16 year old child on our bench. There are opportunities for young people to gain.
We are in a position to go for everything [in terms of the quadruple]. However, there is a risk. Today is a really tough game. Hostile stadium. We need to stick to our plans and protect our lives.
Speaking of Chiesaread on to Italian Jonathan Lie, who has been popular with both Liverpool teammates and fans despite being rarely featured on the Reds this season since his summer trip from Juventus.
Let's solve these teams.
Plymouth will make two changes from Starting XI, which defeated West Brom last week. Hardy joins Baindou, but Horton is replaced by Gabi. The latter is an eye-catching choice as it was his first appearance at Plymouth this season. Leeds midfielder on loan also joined Argyle last season, but most of them couldn't make an impression from the start.
There is Some Although young people in Liverpool's lineup, this is still an internationally experienced aspect. The front 3 of Chiesa, Jota and Diaz are as good as the attacks you can see on any side throughout the weekend. 17-year-old Trey Nyoni, along with 20-year-old James McConnell, highly regarded by Arne Slot, made his second senior start and sixth appearance in Liverpool midfield.

preamble
What a cup tie. While at the top of the Championship team bottom, the Premier League, there is a faint whim of upset here. Plymouth has already dispatched top flight Brentford in the third round (the first game since Wayne Rooney's looting under the interim duo of first team coach Kevin Nanskibel and club captain Joe Edwards ). The recent Streaks took 2-2 at fourth-placed Sunderland and beat fifth-placed West Brom in the final two championship matches.
All credits then seem to be congratulating players and fans recently, despite having endured a difficult start to life at home parks. The reason is simple. His first speech to his first team after his victory at Brentford went viral. In impressive English for men who have never worked in the UK before, Muslick appears to know how to do him around speeches.
Of course, Liverpool is a massive favorite not only for this match, but also for the general competition, with Arsenal and Chelsea in particular struggling with early exits. This is their first match at the home park since 2017. Jurgenklopp defended Liverpool's youngest aspect in history, including 18-year-old Trent Alexander Arnold. Liverpool won a replay 1-0 – Forgotten boring.” Argyle will definitely get a draw in today's 90 minutes, but the game is now an extra time, and if so, it's a penalty. There are no vars today either, please remember.
Regardless of the odds, regardless of the outcome, Devon shakes. How often can you say that?
kick off: GMT at 3pm.
