It’s a big game for…

Divock Origi: The young Belgian should get a chance to stake his claim for a spot in the first team against Plymouth. With Sadio Mane heading off to the African Cup of Nations, Origi could enjoy a spell in the team if he can net a few goals against Plymouth.

Best stat…

55: The last time Plymouth and Liverpool were pitted together was back in April 1962, almost 55 years ago.

Remember when…

It’s almost 23 years since Plymouth were victorious against a top-flight club as they defeated West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns back in February 1984.

Player to watch…

Graham Carey: The former Celtic midfielder has been the key man for the Pilgrims this season, scoring ten goals and assisting nine in all competitions, playing a pivotal part in their flying start to the season. Any problems the visitors create on Sunday will likely be caused by Carey, so Liverpool will have to keep a watchful eye on the 27-year-old.

GAME UPDATE

CHELSEA 3 - 1  PETERBOROUGH

The visitors pull one back, with Nichols burying an easy strike from the far post.  Can this ignite a comeback? We'll see.

32 MINS

Villa continue to pressure Tottenham in possession, but they remain looking second best at the moment, 

[8 January 2017 16:34 · Joe Miles]

35 MINS

A Tottenham corner goes into the box, but Dier fails to connect with the strike and it falls softly for Johnstone to collect.

36 MINS

Sissoko delivers the ball to Davies on the overlap, but the delivery into the box can only find a Villa shirt. Pochettino's men look desperate for a goal before the interval, but can they do it?

39 MINS

Tottenham continue to pass the ball around, but their efforts continue to be unrewarded. They press up the pitch, but their attacks are predictable as the wing-backs continue to predict the diagonal balls.

42 MINS

Janssen delivers the ball through to Son, but Amavi comes flying in to defend the danger. However, the deflection from the Villa man nearly drives the ball into the back of his own net. That would have been a tragic end to the half for Bruce's men.

HALF TIME

The whistle blows exactly on the 45-minute mark, with no additional time this half. 

It was an incredibly shaky start for both clubs, with neither side looking able to find their feet and make a real impact on the game. Spurs look ponderous on the ball and are tending to run out of ideas in the final third. Villa are defending well, but aside from that there is very little no applaud.

We should be expecting significant improvements for both clubs in the second half.

Game on!

48 MINS

Winks drives into Villa's half but the attack deflates and in a similar fashion to the first half, Spurs reverse the run of play and send the ball back to their defence.
