FA Cup 4th round LIVE SCORES: Villa make quarter-finals for the first time in a DECADE and another cup LOSS for Spurs

42 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Mabaya picks up a yellow card for kicking the ball away and delaying the restart on a Plymouth throw.

He didn't quite deal with the ball, running it out of play in his defensive third and didn't want it coming back in quickly.

The offside flag goes up to prevent the Plymouth move coming to anything.

39 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Two corners in quick succession for Liverpool.

Both go short, both a waste of time as the ball never made it into the box.

36 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

McConnell's turn to try his luck from distance and this one takes a nick on the way through.

It makes it slightly tricky for Hazard who has to get down to push it away and Plymouth clear to safety.

34 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Straight down the other end and Elliott has an effort from 25 yards blocked on its way through.

Just slowly coming to life with 10 minutes until the break.

33 - Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Penalty shout for the home side and the supporters are up out their seats.

Bundu capitalises on a mistake from Tsimikas who misjudges the ball into the box.

But the defender gets back in to put Bundu off and the forward goes to ground looking for a spot kick. It would've been soft but worth the shout.

From Justin Allen at Home Park

Not really taken off here yet. Liverpool have not  been moving the ball around quickly enough against an organised Argyle.

But it has been the hosts who have looked more likely to score in the opening exchanges with Ryan Hardie getting past Joe Gomez on the right but his ball quickly smothered by keeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Hardie also saw an effort charged down.

Mustapha Bundu also tried to weave through but Kostas Tsimikas managed to stop him in his tracks as he was set to shoot 12 yards out.

Gomez going off was an early blow - given he has only recently returned from a hamstring injury.

Arne Slot’s team have started to enjoy more possession. Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones are still available on the bench to come on.

28 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Told you there wasn't much to shout about.

Plymouth defending strongly and have a real presence up front should the chance to counter arise.

Liverpool dominating the ball the last 10 minutes or so but it's all in front of Argyle.

23 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Talovierov just does enough to prevent Diaz breaking down the left.

The big defender actually wins a goal kick though Diaz protests it should be a corner.

Talovierov then celebrates having gotten the better of that exchange. I'm never too sure where my thoughts lying on defenders celebrating like that but good for him anyway.

21 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Miron Muslic claps his players after they win a throw in on halfway.

He'd likely have set getting through the first 20 minutes as a target and checkpoint and they've come through it well.

Probably slightly better than Liverpool, too. Not much quality in the opening quarter of the game at all though.

18 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

First booking of the afternoon is dished out as Nyoni is late with a challenge in the middle of the park.

It could well be enough for a yellow on its own but he has already had a couple of niggling fouls, the youngster.

14 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Now Nikola Katic is down for Plymouth. It looks like a head knock and that he'll be OK thankfully.

He'd at least one serious injury when playing north of the border but this doesn't look too bad.

In fact the physios are seeing to his teeth, such was the knock.

Incidentally, Diogo Jota took the armband from Gomez.

12 - Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Kelleher comes out to punch a swinging corner from underneath his crossbar.

Only as far as the edge of the box where Gyabi waits for it and smashes towards goal but it's block on the way.

10 - Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

His afternoon is done. A real shame.

But one man's downfall is another man's opportunity. Isaac Mabaya comes on for a Reds debut.

• OFF: Gomez
• ON: Mabaya

8 - Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

Nightmare for Joe Gomez and Liverpool as he sits down on the turf.

He's only just back from a hamstring injury and this is his first appearance of 2025.

Skippering the side today too. You can see the devastation in his face.

4 – Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

End-to-end start here!

Luis Diaz has THREE men on him when trying to attack down the left.

He tries to work a one-two with Elliott who can't return the pass. Plymouth break and Hardie gets down the right and fizzes a cross in towards Wright but Kelleher sprints off his line to drop low and intercept it.

1 - Plymouth 0-0 Liverpool

First effort on goal comes for the home side as they work the ball well into the final third.

The ball just won't sit for Hardie and when waiting for it to come down, he gets his shot away but it's blocked.

From Justin Allen at Home Park

Arne Slot has had to manage the squad this week with three games in the space of six days so rung the changes.

Only keeper Caoimhin Kelleher kept his place from the Liverpool team that thumped Tottenham 4-0 on Thursday with one eye on the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

Seventeeen-year-old Treymaurice Nyoni made only the second start of his senior career while James McConnell, 20, also was in the XI for the second time, having played against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.

There was almost a carnival atmosphere inside Home Park.

Argyle, while a League Two club, famously held Liverpool to a goalless draw in 2017 at Anfield before earning a replay, which they lost 1-0 in Devon.

Here they come

Incredible noise greets the two sides in the glorious sunshine.

A much-changed side - 10 changes - for Liverpool and they'll need to gel here as this home side and support are right up for this.

Reminder of the teams:

Plymouth XI: Hazard, Pleguezuelo, Hardie, Wright, Bundu, Puchacz, Gyabi, Randell, Katic, Sorinola, Maxi

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Quansah, Tsimikas, McConnell, Nyoni, Chiesa, Elliott, Diaz, Jota.

Teams in the tunnel

And a full house with plenty of green and white on display.

One stand must house at least 70 large flags all swaying and adding to what is a terrific atmosphere.

Exactly what this sort of tie should be about.

Heating up

The atmosphere really building ahead of this one, as you might expect.

A big noise too for the two sets of players heading out to get warmed up.

And that'll take some doing today, it's certainly not a warm day...

Rotation key

Arne Slot is expecting a tough away trip at Plymouth but expects his makeshift side to cope with the demands.

Speaking ahead of today's tie, he said: "I think it's always a tricky tie no matter what team you play because it's an away game, it's their final probably – as is many times when Liverpool comes anywhere.

"But it is true that if you play with a team that hasn't played so much together that that is always for the players a bit more difficult. But I think we've seen already a few times when we played with a team that hasn't played already together – even in Eindhoven in the Champions League – these players were able to play a very good game.

So, I think it's important in these moments for some players that don't get playing time to have their playing time, so whenever we need them they are ready.

"If you never play them then it's so difficult for them to be ready if we do get some injuries or suspensions."
