Plymouth Argyle

Blackburn begin life after John Eustace at Ewood Park with the visit of Plymouth on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The Pilgrims seem to have turned a corner under Miron Muslic and climbed off the foot of the table on Wednesday with a 5-1 thrashing of Millwall, following up a draw at Sunderland, victory over West Brom and Sunday's stunning FA Cup shock against Liverpool.

Rovers returned to fifth in mid-week with a 2-0 win at West Brom led by interim boss David Lowe, however just eight points separate 11 sides in the race for the final two play-off spots.

• Blackburn Rovers are yet to beat Plymouth Argyle in the Football League this century (D2 L3), with their last league win against the Pilgrims coming in May 1992 (3-1).

• Since a 2-1 win in March 1989, Plymouth are winless in each of their past five trips to Blackburn in the league (D3 L2).

• Blackburn have won two of their past three league games at Ewood Park (L1), as many as in their prior eight games (D2 L4).

• Plymouth have drawn each of their past two away league games, picking up as many points as they did in their previous 15 away league matches combined (D2 L13).

• Blackburn's Makhtar Gueye has been involved in five goals in his past seven league games at Ewood Park (2 goals, 3 assists), netting in two of his last three league games there.

Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic says his side used 'the energy' from their FA Cup win over Liverpool to beat Millwall 5-1 at Home Park.

The victory - Argyle's biggest since September 2023 - lifted them off the bottom of the Championship table.

The Pilgrims are two points from safety with 15 games to go.

"I knew it was going to be very difficult for us because everything was so emotional on Sunday," he told BBC Sport.

"I think we as staff found the right balance to support the lads as best possible to enjoy this great achievement, a historical moment for us, but also on the other side not to forget that the daily bread is this competition, and we have to collect points and we have to win games.

"That's why I'm very pleased and very proud also of the performance and the win.

"The plan was to use this energy, to use this confidence from Liverpool from the first whistle - if we could manage to do this we knew then that we can also create some troubled moments for Millwall, knowing that Millwall is just defensively solid.

"We knew if we could put this structure back on the pitch, this intensity, we can create chances and we took advantage of it. "

The draw for the FA Cup fifth round has been made. Here is a list of all the ties involving Championship teams left in the competition.

Games will be played over the first weekend of March.

• Aston Villa v Cardiff City

• Crystal Palace v Millwall

• Manchester City v Plymouth

• Preston North End v Burnley

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.

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?

Let us know your thoughts here.

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

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."
