    Plymouth Argyle will turn their attentions back to the battle for Championship survival following their memorable shock FA Cup win over Liverpool on Sunday.

    The Pilgrims are bottom and four points from safety ahead of the visit of play-off chasing Millwall, but Miron Muslic's side did end a 15-game winless run in the league by beating West Bromwich Albion last time out.

    The Lions beat Leeds 2-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend and have won three on the bounce in the league to reignite their quest for a top-six finish.

    • Plymouth Argyle have failed to win any of their past eight league games against Millwall (D4 L4), since a 3-0 home victory in December 1997.

    • Millwall have won each of their past three league games against Plymouth Argyle, already the Lions' longest ever run against the Pilgrims in the EFL.

    • Plymouth ended a 15-game winless Championship run with a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion last time out. Argyle haven't won consecutive league games since February 2024, the only time they've achieved that in the Championship over the last two seasons.

    • Millwall have won their past three league games, having won none of their first four under Alex Neil (D2 L2). Each of their past eight league wins have all come via a one-goal margin.

    • Ryan Hardie scored both of Plymouth's goals in their 2-1 win over West Brom, having only netted once in his previous 35 Championship games. The Scotsman last scored in consecutive games in January 2024.

    We asked you for your views on the greatest win in Plymouth Argyle's history.

    Unsurprisingly many of you went for Sunday's 1-0 win over Premier League leaders Liverpool, although a number of you felt it was a little bit devalued by Arne Slot picking a weakened side (even though it still had eight internationals).

    Here are some of your views:

    Phil: We've had plenty of wins that were more important than this but it's certainly the biggest upset Argyle have had in my time of supporting them.

    John: Having supported the Green Army for73 years, to knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup is beyond my wildest dreams.

    Stuart: The result against Liverpool was a great win but probably not the most important in Argyle's history. The 2-0 win against QPR in 2004 could be seen as more important but the most important result would have to be the 2-1 win at Chesterfield that kept Argyle in the league in 2013.

    Richard: I was at nearly every game in the 1983-84 FA Cup run and that was a magic time, especially the away wins at West Brom and Derby. But this is right up there - a fantastic result.

    But if one man is to overshadow Liverpool it could only be arguably the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of boots.

    Brazil legend Pele and his Santos side toured Europe in 1973 and played the Pilgrims at Home Park that March - you can read more about it here.

    Around 40,000 packed into Home Park that night as the home side beat the stars from South America 3-2 - a game that still lives long in the memory.

    Matthew: This is the biggest win at Home Park since Argyle beat Santos. This is certainly the best result of this millennium.

    Martin: 1973 v Santos, attendance approx 38,000. Santos had Pele, Edu, Roberto Carlos and Clodaldo. We won 3-2 and although the result counted for nothing, it was a proper football match and a bruising encounter. To say the atmosphere was charged would be a massive understatement.

    Peter: Possibly... but seeing Pele playing for Santos and beating them was special - and unexpected. Liverpool playing their youngsters has taken the edge of a superb victory. A match which tbh they should have won had it not been for excellent goalkeeping.

  4. Greatest win in Argyle's history? Have your saypublished at 11:48 GMT 10 February

    No, you weren't dreaming - it really did happen! Plymouth Argyle beat Liverpool in the FA Cup.

    The Premier League leaders, the Champions League group stage toppers, the six-time European champions, the 19-time champions of England... humbled at Home Park.

    Plymouth Argyle chairman Simon Hallett says it is "probably the best ever win at Home Park" in the club's history.

    Miron Muslic says it is the greatest win of his managerial career.

    Goalscorer Ryan Hardie says "it's one that will live with me forever".

    But where does it rank in your greatest Argyle moments? If there is a bigger or more important win, what was it?

  5. Sutton's predictions: Plymouth v Liverpoolpublished at 11:05 GMT 9 February

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    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.

    I am speaking before they play Tottenham in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, but even defeat there would not derail their season. 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

  6. New signings 'raise the bar' at Argyle - Muslicpublished at 13:15 GMT 7 February

    Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic says new defensive signings Maksym Talovierov and Nikola Katic have driven "a big improvement" behind the scenes at Home Park.

    Ukraine international Talovierov joined the Pilgrims for a club-record fee last month, while Bosnia's Katic has arrived on loan until the end of the season from Swiss side FC Zurich.

    The pair both impressed on their debuts against West Bromwich Albion last weekend as the Pilgrims came from a goal down to win 2-1, ending a club-record 15-game winless run.

    "They're top professionals, top, top guys," Muslic told BBC Radio Devon.

    "A big improvement already in the locker room because those guys are arriving first at 08:30, so it forced the other guys to come a little bit early.

    "Those guys are the first in the gym, are the last to leave the gym after training, so they're raising the bar on the pitch and they're raising the bar off the pitch, so I'm very, very happy with both signings.

    "Being capable to have this kind of performance against West Brom, which after travelling for two-and-a-half days and having only one matchday minus one session with us and still able to perform like this, it's very promising for us and we will need them both."

  7. Plymouth Argyle v Liverpool: Did you know?published at 17:01 GMT 6 February

    Home Park is set for a memorable afternoon on Sunday as Premier League leaders Liverpool visit Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round (15:00 GMT).

    The eight-time winners edged-out Argyle in a replay on their only previous encounter in the competition, but this time around the Greens have won only five Championship games this season to sit bottom of the table, 43 places below the Reds in the ladder.

    • Plymouth Argyle's only previous FA Cup tie with Liverpool in the 2017 third round saw them draw 0-0 at Anfield as a fourth tier side, before losing 1-0 in a replay at Home Park.

    • Liverpool are unbeaten in their past eight games against Plymouth in all competitions (W5 D3) since suffering a 4-0 away defeat in February 1956 under manager Don Welsh.

    • Plymouth Argyle are looking to reach the FA Cup fifth round for just the fifth time, last doing so in 2006-07. The Pilgrims have gone out in the fourth round on four occasions since then, including last season against Leeds United.

    • 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 Man City against Wigan in 2017-18.

    • Liverpool's Diogo Jota has been involved in 10 goals in his 12 FA Cup appearances (6 goals, 4 assists) and has scored (2 goals) or assisted (1 goal) in all three of his away games in the competition.

  8. 'I think the window was honestly a solid 8 out of 10'published at 15:03 GMT 4 February

    We asked you for your views on Plymouth Argyle's winter transfer window dealings.

    Generally, the theme was positive, especially the additions of Maksym Talovierov, Tymoteusz Puchacz and Nikola Katic in defence, as the club twice broke its record for a fee paid and also received a club record £5m plus add-ons for Morgan Whittaker.

    Will it be enough for Miron Muslic's side to beat the drop?

    Here is a selection of what Pilgrims fans had to say...

    Terry: It is lovely to see that Argyle have purchased players with some credible skills. The loan market has been good to us, but I felt the last group didn't have the heart nor courage to truly excel in the Championship. With players being brought in, they all have so much to prove, and with their respective personal statuses, they should be cementing their places in the team and showing other clubs what they are capable of.

    Moose: Good signings! We trust the management and these players to do their very best to keep us up or, if not, to return us to the Championship at the first time of asking.

    Chezzbo: Complete and utter disgrace. Waiting in anticipation just for the window to open, never mind to keep up with our business during it. We needed essentially a new team of players. Sold our best defender and attacker and didn't put that money back into the team like we needed. An extreme gamble from the higher-ups, and if we do end up going down, we know whose fault it is.

    Matthew: I think the window was honestly a solid 8 out of 10. Players in and some senior players out. Whittaker and Gibson were big losses, but the money should help plug the leaky defence.

    Keith: First impressions of Talovierov, Katic and Puchacz are excellent, and maybe bringing in Boateng will allow Randell to support the attack more.

    Ricardo: A big change of style and a bit early to tell, but Miron seems to have a positive but realistic approach, and the signings look good. I'm still optimistic about staying up but could accept the alternative as long as we go down fighting.

    Chris: Honestly, think we have done well on the defensive side, so hopefully we can stop leaking goals, which will make us harder to beat, but my concern is not getting another attacker, as you can defend well, but you still need to score goals.

    Steve: Good business, and great to see the new manager shoring up our weak defence. If this works, we have a chance of staying up!

    Roger: There are signs the Muslic strategy is having an effect. There is still time to gather enough points to beat the drop, but a lot of catching up to do. The key will be beating the clubs we face in the bottom half, but the last two performances will have given the players a huge lift.

    David: Time will tell, but I think we have done well. We have certainly strengthened the defence. A striker would have been nice; hopefully we have enough goals in the team to keep us up.

    Pad: You've got to roll the dice. Hopefully they will have the desired effect. The Great Escape is on....

  9. What did you make of Argyle's transfer window?published at 12:56 GMT 4 February

    It was all go off the field as Plymouth Argyle broke record for players coming to, and going from, Home Park.

    Lewis Gibson left for more than £1m to Preston North End early in the window before the Pilgrims received a club-record £5m plus add-ons from Middlesbrough for influential forward Morgan Whittaker.

    In terms of incomings, Argyle twice broke their record for a fee paid - first when Michael Baidoo joined from Elfsborg early in the month and then again last week when Ukraine centre-back Maksym Talovierov agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal.

    And don't forget the loan signings of Poland wing-back Tymoteusz Puchacz and centre-back Nikola Katic, as well as the deadline day purchase of Hearts midfielder Malachi Boateng.

    Has the club done enough to turn a corner and get out of the relegation places? Or is this just an expensive blow-out before the inevitable drop?
