Plymouth v Liverpool Betting Preview – FA Cup 18th January 7.45pm
Liverpool are probably going to send out an another youthful side in this one while keeping a couple of big guns on the bench. This is such a busy period for them to get through and they have to rotate their squad. Plymouth were defensively on point at Anfield in the 0-0 draw they earned, but it is questionable as to whether or not the League Two side can muster up enough attacking threat to move through to the fourth round. Liverpool’s young side may enjoy a little more space to play on the counter in this one.

Plymouth v Liverpool Betting Tips
The Pilgrims put in a good amount of work and defensive discipline for their trip to Anfield in the FA Cup third round and they managed to survive. They were going against a Liverpool youth side though. The big question is, can they pull off a big upset now back on home soil? The Pilgrims have actually been in decent form this season and they are involved in the promotion push for a League One spot next season. They have suffered just the one defeat in their last nine games across all competitions now (W3 D4 L1) so they can take positives from that. They have made progress past Mansfield and Newport to get to the third round in the cup this season although their only home game in that sequence ended in a 0-0 against Newport County. Plymouth have only lost three games at Home Park all season in all competitions where they have a W9 D4 L3 record.
Plymouth have netted at least two goals in each of their last four games on home soil and there is a price of 4/7 with Stan James on over 2.5 goals. They showed no ambition about getting forward at Anfield and that is going to have to change if they really want to to take a shot at the fourth round here. Again they will facing a youthful Liverpool side most likely and that means that with a bit of gusto and the amount of home goals they have scored lately, there may be a decent chance of the Pilgrims getting a goal on the board and both teams to score at bookmaker Stan James fetches you a price of 19/20. Regardless of whichever way you look at his though, they are heavy underdogs to come through this tough task.
Liverpool have been pretty busy in January because of their extra involvement in the EFL Cup semi finals against Southampton. The advantage that they have is they have a good young side to throw into action and they can also put big guns on the bench to bring into action if they need to. The Reds have failed to win any of their last four games now across all competitions with a D3 L1 record on the board. So there has just been a little bit of a loss of momentum from them and they have failed to hit the back of the net in two of their last three games. They have not won any of their last three away games either and Jurgen Klopp has seen his men collect just two wins in their last seven away games. So are there vulnerabilities for Liverpool on the south coast? They pushed but couldn’t break the Plymouth resolve in the first leg, so no, they don’t look to be at much risk. Their extra power will likely pull them through.

Plymouth v Liverpool Predictions
There shouldn’t be any second bite of the cherry for Plymouth to enjoy in this one. They showed no ambition in the first match but and if they try to in this one, the pace of Liverpool’s youthful side are more than likely going to pick them off. Liverpool will have enough to edge their way through this one and a 2-0 correct score on the Reds looks some value.
