Liverpool’s Form
The Reds come into the game after a 4-0 win against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Liverpool currently sit at the top of the Premier League, six points ahead of Arsenal.
They also finished top of the Champions League table last week.
The Reds beat Accrington Stanley in the third round, as goals from Diogo Jota, Trent-Alexander Arnold, Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa gave Liverpool a 4-0 win.
Plymouth’s Form
Plymouth took on Premier League side Brentford in the third round. A late goal from Morgan Whittaker secured the win for the Greens.
However, Whittaker won’t be involved in this weekend’s game, after he completed a £5 million transfer to Middlesbrough this January.
Plymouth currently sit bottom of the Championship on 25 points, four points away from safety.
They come into this game off the back of a win against West Brom, as Ryan Hardie scored twice late in the game, as Plymouth won 2-1.
Plymouth appointed Austrian manager Miron Muslic in January and so far he has won two, drawn two and lost two.

The teams faced each other in the third round of the competition back in 2017.
Liverpool went through, after a goal from Lucas in the replay at Home Park was the only goal of the tie.
Liverpool will be looking to win three out of three, while Plymouth will be hoping to reach the FA Cup fifth round for the fifth time in their history.
The draw for the fifth round will take place on Monday, before Doncaster VS Crystal Palace on BBC One.
