Liverpool’s Journey to Plymouth: A Thrilling Fourth Round FA Cup Showdown!

Currently sitting at the top of the Premier League, Liverpool will make their way to the bottom-of-the-table Championship side Plymouth Argyle during the fourth round of the FA Cup, while Leyton Orient or Derby County have been drawn to compete against Manchester City.

Plymouth will be invigorated by the possibility of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk possibly featuring at Home Park after the second-tier club defeated Brentford 1-0 in the previous round on Saturday.

Regardless of the opponent, whether it is in-form League One team Orient or mid-table Championship side Derby, they will aim to present a tougher challenge than Salford City, who faced an 8-0 defeat against Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Manchester United, the reigning FA Cup champions, will face Leicester City as a reward for overcoming Arsenal in a penalty shootout, with Leicester managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who temporarily led United earlier this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion is set to clash with Chelsea, Everton will go against Bournemouth, and Aston Villa will host Tottenham Hotspur in three challenging matches featuring Premier League clubs.

Newcastle United will take on a difficult journey to League One leaders Birmingham City, while Fulham is required to travel to play either Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic.

The remaining third-round fixtures are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. The fourth round is set to occur from February 7 to February 10.
