Liverpool is set to take on Plymouth Argyle in the Emirates FA Cup, with both teams looking to advance to the next stage of the competition. While the Reds are in great form, their injury concerns and Plymouth’s resilience could make this an interesting clash.
Liverpool's Injury List and Availability
Trent Alexander-Arnold
The vice-captain suffered an injury during Liverpool’s 4-0 win against Bournemouth and will be unavailable for the Plymouth game. Manager Arne Slot has stated that his recovery is progressing well but he remains a doubt for the upcoming Merseyside derby.
Tyler Morton
The young midfielder is sidelined with a shoulder injury that Slot has confirmed will keep him out for “weeks or maybe even longer.”
Cody Gakpo on Liverpool’s Form
Liverpool’s recent 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semi-finals showcased their dominance. Cody Gakpo, who was instrumental in that win, expressed his optimism about the team’s trajectory. Speaking to Sky Sports, he emphasized the importance of taking things “game by game” and maintaining momentum.
Predicted Lineups
Plymouth Argyle (3-4-2-1):
Goalkeeper: Hazard
Defenders: Talovierov, Katic, Pleguezuelo
Midfielders: Sorinola, Randell, Houghton, Puchacz
Forwards: Baidoo, Wright, Bundu
Liverpool (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Alisson
Defenders: Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson
Midfielders: Gravenberch, Mac Allister
Attackers: Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Jota
Match Prediction
Liverpool’s attacking firepower is expected to be too much for Plymouth to handle. With an average of 2.67 goals per game on the road, the Reds will likely secure a comfortable win. Plymouth, despite their strong showing against Brentford in the previous round, struggle defensively, keeping clean sheets in just 7% of their matches.
Prediction: Plymouth 0-3 Liverpool
