Prediction: 1-3
Liverpool
Plymouth will try to claim a major scalp in the FA Cup last 32 when they take on Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The Pilgrims are fighting tooth and nail to survive in the Premier League and they have been showing signs of improvement ever since manager Wayne Rooney got fired. Plymouth proved their worth in a 2-1 win over WBA, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Premier League leaders. Ryan Hardie is widely expected to return to Plymouth’s starting eleven after scoring a brace as a substitute against West Brom, while Edwards, Galloway, and Szucs remains in the treatment room.
The Reds, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Bournemouth. As Arne Slot is determined to win everything this term, we are tempted to bet on Mohamed Salah and Co. Even though the former Feyenoord boss is expected to shuffle his pack, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Arne Slot has a full squad to choose from.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Plymouth):
Nicknamed the Pilgrims, Plymouth are a professional football club that host their rivals at Home Park. The stadium, which can hold up to 18,600 people, was built in 1892 and opened the following year. Plymouth footballers wear dark green jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while light green and white are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Pilgrims made it to the FA Cup semi-finals in the 1983-84 season, with the team advancing to the Football League Cup semis on two occasions (1964-65, 1973-74). The Pilgrims recorded their biggest win against Millwall on January 16, 1932, with the team beating the Lions 8-1, and they repeated the success in 1994 as they rolled over Hartlepool United in the Second Division.
The club suffered their heaviest defeat against Stoke City (0-9) on December 17, 1960. Fellow Devon teams Exeter City and Torquay United are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.
