A place in one final secured, Arne Slot and Liverpool hope to move toward another when they visit the Home Park Stadium for a fourth-round match at Championship side Plymouth Argyle on Sunday.

The home team, despite that aforementioned growing gap, do come into this one on the back of a much-needed and impressive first win of the Muslic reign as they defeated West Bromwich Albion by two goals to one last weekend thanks to a late brace scored by Ryan Hardie. That ended what was a 15-match winless run of form in the Championship.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool will enter their EFL Cup match with Tottenham trailing by a goal after the first leg but with home-field advantage to look to make up for that. Tottenham chase their first major trophy since winning the EFL Cup in 2008 and could be 90 minutes away from the final as these two meet in their semifinal second leg.
