Plymouth Argyle vs Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup team news and official line-ups as youngster Trey Nyoni handed start

Arne Slot has made 10 changes to the side that beat Spurs in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Only Kelleher keeps his spot, with Trey Nyoni at right-back and James McConnell in midfield.

Chiesa, Jota and Diaz lead a strong line for the visitors.

Plymouth have made two changes to the side that beat West Brom last week, with Jordan Houghton dropping out of midfield for Darko Gyabi.

In the forward positions, Ryan Hardie comes in for Michael Baidoo.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot is still unsure on whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will be fit to face Everton in the Merseyside derby next week, with the Dutchman saying it is “difficult to say” at present.

Alexander-Arnold was forced off with an injury to his thigh during the win over Bournemouth on 1 February and missed Thursday’s win over Tottenham in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

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

Subs: Grimshaw, Mumba, Houghton, Obafemi, Boateng, Tijani, Al Hajj, Baidoo, Palsson.

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

Subs: Jaros, Nunez, Jones, Kone-Doherty, Mabaya, Nallo, Norris, Young, Ngumoha.

The line-ups should be released in about five minutes, so here’s a reminder of the early team news.

For Plymouth, Brendan Galloway has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a hip injury, while Kornel Szucs and Joe Edwards will also miss this match.

In his pre-match conference, Arne Slot ruled out a return for both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton, with the former also a doubt for the midweek match against Everton.

Slot will likely make several changes to the side that beat Spurs in midweek, with Jarell Quansah potentially coming into the defence alongside Wataru Endo, as was the case against Accrington Stanley.

In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch will likely be rested, with Curtis Jones or James McConnell potentially coming in.

Up front, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott should get a chance in the starting line-up.

Having made the Carabao Cup final in midweek, Liverpool remain on the hunt for a quadruple this season as they take on Plymouth today.

The first final of the season will see them face a difficult task as they take on Newcastle in March, and while several difficult sides remain in the FA Cup, the Reds’ status as Europe’s in-form side mean that it is difficult to bet against them.

In the league, Arne Slot’s side lead by six points on nearest challengers Arsenal, and they could go nine points ahead if they win their game in hand – against Everton on Wednesday.

In Europe, there’s plenty to be decided as the playoff games take place this week, with the Reds waiting to see their last 16 opponents having topped the league phase table.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight games against Plymouth in all competitions (W5 D3) since suffering a 4-0 away defeat in February 1956.

The FA Cup brings some of the most memorable moments of the football season, but the competition will look a little different this year after a seismic change.

As always, the draw has thrown together some intriguing ties.

But while fairytale ties against top-flight sides can still be the high point of a season for some clubs in the lower tiers, the decision to scrap replays from this season onwards has not been a popular one.

The FA took the decision to scrap FA Cup replays in April 2024, with the country’s governing body working with the Premier League to come to an agreement in light of the expansion of the format to Uefa’s main competitions.

Here’s a quick rundown of the results so far in the fourth round, as well as some linked match reports.

Leeds United 0-2 Millwall

Preston 0-0 Wycombe (PNE win 4-2 on pens)

Stoke City 3-3 Cardiff (CAR win 4-3 on pens)
