Premier League leaders Liverpool have been drawn against Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round. The match, scheduled for February 7 and 10, will see the Reds travel to Home Park.
Liverpool, under the stewardship of Arne Slot, are enjoying a stellar campaign atop the Premier League, while Plymouth Argyle find themselves languishing at the bottom of the Championship table. Despite their contrasting league fortunes, the magic of the FA Cup ensures that this tie will not lack intrigue.
Plymouth’s progression to the fourth round came through a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Brentford, a Premier League outfit, in the third round. The Pilgrims will hope to channel that same giant-killing spirit when they welcome Liverpool’s star-studded lineup, potentially featuring the likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds’ passage to this stage was secured with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over League Two side Accrington Stanley at Anfield. Goals from Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jayden Danns, and Federico Chiesa underscored a dominant performance from Liverpool. Slot utilized the match to rotate his squad, blend youth with experience, and maintain momentum across multiple competitions.
