Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is sitting on the ground. He's only just returned from a hamstring injury.

A couple of fouls by both sides sees the game slow down.

Great positive play from Plymouth. Ryan Hardie runs down the right and plays an early ball across to Callum Wright in the centre. Unfortunately for them Caoimhin Kelleher anticipated that and was off his line to smother it.

Two defenders immediately close down Liverpool's Luis Diaz in the box but he lays it off to Trey Nyoni, who has a shot blocked.

Bright start from the hosts. A long ball is flicked into the path of Ryan Hardie, whose effort from outside the box is blocked.

Opta give Plymouth a 7.3% chance of victory in 90 minutes here.

We are under way in Devon.

Home Park has erupted as the two sides come out to the sound of Argyle's traditional walk-on tune Semper Fidelis.

Liverpool are well-used to noisy crowds - but one or two of the squad may not have been ready for what this Championship side's crowd has greeted them with.

There's just under 18,000 in here this afternoon - it sounds a lot more.

I've just seen a half-and-half Plymouth and Liverpool shirt in the stands. I don't even know what to say.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to ITV: "There is a long way to go. We know how difficult this game is going to be as they have changed their playing style.

"Our thoughts are not on the final, but on the game today.

"They're very direct. You have to be focused for 90 minutes as they are waiting for one moment.

"We have to be on top of our game."

On the 10 changes: "It is good for the players who don't usually play.

"The players who play so much once in a while need a normal week.

"It's going to be difficult to play your best football over here as it is an intense team. What I want from all of them is workrate and winning second balls.

"What they need to show is fight.

"All these games are tight so we know it is going to be tough. Even with our starters it would be a tough fixture.

"We have to play it like it's the final otherwise it will be tough to get a result over here."

The volume is going up a few levels at Home Park, and it is very clear Plymouth's recent managerial appointment is proving a popular one with "The Green Army".

Miron Muslic is a charismatic personality and last week's win against West Bromwich Albion has kept hopes of staying in the Championship alive.

Muslic was warmly applauded when he appeared pitchside a few moments ago, and he was then happy to pose for pictures with fans, also signing autographs.

Pull off a win today and Muslic's popularity rating will go through the roof.

Liverpool

Liverpool forward Harvey Elliott, speaking to ITV: "I feel like I'm getting a bit old.

"Now there are 16-year-olds on our bench and hopefully they can come on and make a difference.

"The squad has not changed, but I feel this season we're in a position where we can go for everything.

"We are taking it game-by-game and making sure that we can win every game.

"Every team is up for it and we need to make sure we are on our A game today.

"We need to stick to the game-plan and use our qualities when we can."

Liverpool are unbeaten in their past eight games against Plymouth, since suffering a 4-0 away defeat in February 1956 under manager Don Welsh.

They last met in the FA Cup in 2017 with the Reds winning a replay 1-0. Lucas Leiva scored that goal, his first in seven years.

Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic says this is "more than just another game" and believes "the underdog always has a chance".

The 42-year-old Austrian replaced Wayne Rooney last month and his side sit bottom of the Championship.

"A beautiful challenge is in front of us," he said. "A day to enjoy for us as Argyle, as a club and organisation and a day to enjoy for the Green Army and the fans.

"The best team in the world is coming, so it is a day we are looking forward to and want to enjoy.

"I can understand the city is going crazy, the fans are going crazy and they are very much looking forward [to it].

"It's more than just another game. It's the FA Cup, a home game and it's Liverpool.

"The beauty of our sport, the beauty of the competition, is that the underdog - and we are clearly the underdog in this case - always has a chance."

Plymouth got their first league win since the start of November when they beat West Brom on Saturday, and they have brought a couple of players in under their new manager, Miron Muslic.

Even so, you cannot see past Liverpool's quality getting them a win here.

Arne Slot's side are going strong in Europe as well as the Premier League and I suppose the question is whether the number of games they play takes its toll eventually.

So far, though, Slot has managed their schedule so well, and their squad is very strong. For example, Trent Alexander-Arnold is out at the moment, but Conor Bradley can come in at right-back - problem solved.

They have dropped points here and there, but unlike every other team at the top of the Premier League, they have not had a dodgy period.

Whatever team that Slot puts out here, my feeling is that Liverpool are pretty unstoppable. They have this relentless nature, and they will find a way of beating Plymouth.

Sutton's prediction: 1-3

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle midfielder Callum Wright, speaking to ITV: "It is a dream come true to get them at Home Park. It’s going to be a good day.

"He [Steven Gerrard] is my idol.

“That’s the reason I play football today. It is going to be tough, the best team in the world, but we have a gameplan and hopefully we can cause an upset.”

On Liverpool: "Winning trophies all the time and constantly getting to finals - I’m sure they will want to win this one.”

On Argyle’s manager Miron Muslic: "He makes us hard to play against. The last two-to-three teams would feel that, and hopefully we can do that today."

The team starting the day top of the Premier League has only been eliminated from the FA Cup on three occasions previously by a side from outside the top-flight – Leeds against Cardiff in 2001-02, Chelsea against Bradford in 2014-15 and Manchester City against Wigan in 2017-18.

Mak: Emmanuel Agbadou looks a real bargain. Fast, strong and very comfy on the ball. Looks a coup for Wolves!

Wolves were by far the better team. You saw the intention with the team selection from Vitor Pereira.

Matheus Cunha started after signing the new contract and he has been their go-to guy this season.

Wolves were comfortable in the second half and could have won by a greater margin. They stay in the competition and are into the next round.
