Playmouth vs Liverpool preview:
It’s been a tough campaign so far for Plymouth who remain rooted to the bottom of the Championship, having only won five of their 30 league games. However, one of those victories did come in their last fixture as they secured a shock victory over promotion-chasing West Brom.
Miron Muslic’s side have also beaten Premier League opposition already this season, having secured a 1-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Liverpool will present a far tougher challenge though, with the Reds enjoying a remarkable season that has many pundits suggesting they are the best team in Europe at this moment.
The Reds crushed Tottenham 4-0 on Thursday night to reach the Carabao Cup final and will want to continue their excellent form in cup competitions. However, manager Arne Slot may well choose to make numerous changes to the starting XI, especially ahead of the final-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
Liverpool have utilised their young players successfully in cup competitions in recent seasons and Slot will be confident that whatever side he picks will have enough to progress.

Plymouth vs Liverpool team news
Slot suggested in his press conference after the Tottenham victory that he will “definitely use a few we haven't used much”. That could mean a number of youth players come into the side, including centre-back Jarrel Quansah, midfielder James McConnell and Rio Ngumoha, who made his debut in the third-round win over Accrington Stanley.
Connor Bradley is likely to continue at right-back after his excellent performance against Spurs, as is goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. There could also be appearances for the likes of Wataru Endō, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa.
Muslic has a decision to make after Ryan Hardie came off the bench last week to score two goals and earn Plymouth a vital victory over West Brom. The striker had not scored since September but his two goals in 14 minutes brought to an end Argyle's 15-game winless run in the league.
January arrivals Maksym Talovierov and fellow defender Nikola Katic are also both set to start after impressing in the win over West Brom.
