Stated plan

Win the loose knight on b4 with the c5-pawn, since it is under-defended and no good recapture regains the material.

Reasoning

The knight on b4 is only defended by the queen on b3 (the a4-pawn does not guard b4). Black’s c5-pawn can simply capture it: cxb4. If Qxb4, the queen cannot reach the bishop on d4 because the c4-pawn blocks the rank, so the bishop stays safe and Black nets a full piece for a pawn. If axb4 instead, Black is still up material the same way.
