Liverpool will take on Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round after a strong performance against Accrington Stanley
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, emphasized the importance of the FA Cup last week. He fielded a strong team against Accrington Stanley, and it paid off. Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored before Jayden Danns added another from the bench. Federico Chiesa also celebrated his first goal for the club.
Other teams like Manchester City and Chelsea also had easy wins over the weekend. However, Tottenham had to push through extra time to beat non-league Tamworth. In a surprising twist, Arsenal was knocked out by Manchester United on penalties, despite United playing with ten men for a good chunk of the match.
Now, Liverpool is set to face Plymouth, who recently let go of their manager, Wayne Rooney, after a rough patch. But Plymouth did pull off a surprise by beating Brentford in the last round, so they’ll be ready for the challenge.
The last time these two teams met in the FA Cup was back in 2017, where Liverpool had to settle for a goalless draw at Anfield. They eventually won the replay 1-0, thanks to Lucas Leiva’s early goal.
The full draw for the fourth round is out, with matches scheduled for February. Keep an eye out for more updates on this exciting story as it unfolds!
