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.

51 MINS
Trippier delivers a perfect ball into the box and it falls at the feet of Son, who controls it then miss-hits it. It's a dismal attempt and is arguably Tottenham's best attempt of the game so far.
54 MINS
Winks dispossess Grealish and starts a Spurs move, but his final cross into the box is dealt with by Chester. Positive stuff from Winks.
56 MINS
Tottenham relentlessly attack the Villa defence, but there is no budging for Bruce's men.
Much to the relief of the home fans, Alli appears to be warming up.
59 MINS
Substitution: Janssen is replaced by Alli.
Janssen done well today - his work rate was faultless. Nonetheless, i'm sure the Spurs fans will welcome the introduction of Ali with open arms.
62 MINS
Son breaks through with a burst of pace and fires a tremendous strike, but it's outweighed by Johnstone's aesthetically pleasing save to safety.
64 MINS
Baker has gone to ground after falling awkwardly. He is currently receiving treatment on the pitch.
66 MINS
A goalmouth scramble is the result of a Grealish free-kick, with Agbonlahor coming close to breaking the deadlock.
68 MINS
Winks goes for goal from distance, but the deflected strike is saved by Johnstone. It's end-to-end stuff right now.
71 MINS
GOAL
TOTTENHAM 1 - 0 ASTON VILLA
Davies has broke the deadlock for the home side, with the substitute N'Koudou delivering the assist just seconds after his introduction. It's a great header from the Spurs man, leaving Johnstone helpless. Their persistence has paid off, at last.
