Command Analysis
Plymouth Argyle
EnglandCurrent form
Plymouth is the outsider of the Championship, where after 30 rounds it takes the last place. However, the chances of saving the season are not lost, as the gap from the saving 21st place is only four points. In the last round, Miron Muslic scored an important 2-1 home victory over West Brom. In general, throughout the season, the Pilgrims have been achieving the greatest success at their stadium, where they scored 21 out of 25 points. It's hard to judge how much the factor of one's field will help the team today in the confrontation with the Premier League leader. However, we note that at the previous stage of the Cup, Plymouth had already knocked out the representative of the Premier League, Brentford, and did it on the road with a minimum score of 1-0.

5.90Tip and bets
At the previous stage of the Cup, Arne Slot and his players did not underestimate themselves and confidently dealt with Accrington with a score of 4:0. It is unlikely that today, even with a decent rotation of the squad, we will see the game played carelessly by the guests. The Merseysiders, in any combination of the squad, have a huge advantage in class over the Championship outsider. We are waiting for a confident victory in the performance of the bookmakers' favorite.
Our forecast is that Liverpool will win with an Asian handicap (-2) for a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
Liverpool's attack is habitually at its best, showing itself confidently in matches against opponents noticeably inferior in class. We can recall the four goals scored against Accrington and Ipswich, and three days ago Tottenham managed to score four goals without any problems. We do not think that the hosts will be able to cope with the powerful onslaught of the Merseysiders today.
The second bet is that Liverpool's individual goal total is over 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.72
The first half bet
In four of the last five matches, Liverpool have shown their advantage at the start and won in the first half. We expect that today the guests will achieve victory in the opening 45 minutes.
Prediction – Liverpool win in the first half with a 1.50 coefficient
