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.

The home side enter the interval chasing a one-goal deficit, due to goals from Johansen and Sessengon to give the visitors the advantage. 

There has been glimpses of brilliance from both sides and despite Fulham's lead - this game is far from over. 

Stay tuned for the second half updates.

Tom Cairney goes for goal from the edge of the area, but it goes straight into the path of Brian Murphy who deflates the danger. The 33-year-old keeper will not be beat by such a mediocre strike.

Fulham are in full control at Cardiff City Stadium, but so far their relentless efforts are going unrewarded this half. They are controlling the tempo of the game, so Cardiff have got some work to do if they want to progress to the fourth round. The pressure is on.
