Plymouth vs Liverpool prediction: Routine Reds win?
Key stats
- Plymouth have won just once in five games.
- Liverpool have scored at least twice in each of their previous five matches.
- Liverpool are unbeaten without conceding in the previous two H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Plymouth 0-3 Liverpool
With Plymouth struggling at the bottom of the Championship and Liverpool thriving at the top of the Premier League, a routine away win is expected. The Reds may rotate after Thursday night's 4-0 demolition of Tottenham in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at Anfield, but should still have too much quality in the squad for the Pilgrims.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Liverpool massive favourites
- HOME: 14/1 (15.00) – 6.7%
- DRAW: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.8%
- AWAY: 2/13 (1.15) – 86.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Unsurprisingly, the implied probabilities show that Liverpool are massive favourites to win and progress into the next round. A draw after normal time is the next fancied result, followed by an unlikely Plymouth victory.

Plymouth preview: Free hit for Pilgrims
Plymouth will see the tie as a free hit, and so should go out and express themselves at home. However, that may play into Liverpool's hands, and could see them vulnerable at the back.
Predicted lineup: Hazard (GK), Pleguezuelo, Katic, Taloverov, Sorinola, Houghton, Randell, Mumba, Wright, Baidoo & Hardle

Player to watch – Federico Chiesa
Given Salah's exceptional form for Liverpool, Federico Chiesa has hardly been used under Arne Slot. However, the Italian may get a rare start against Plymouth and will be keen to impress, as Slot may rotate his squad and give the likes of Salah a rest.
