It would’ve been soft but worth the shout.Copy linkCopiedFrom Justin Allen at Home ParkNot really taken off here yet. Liverpool have not  been moving the ball around quickly enough against an organised Argyle.But it has been the hosts who have looked more likely to score in the opening exchanges with Ryan Hardie getting past Joe Gomez on the right but his ball quickly smothered by keeper Caoimhin Kelleher.Hardie also saw an effort charged down.Mustapha Bundu also tried to weave through but Kostas Tsimikas managed to stop him in his tracks as he was set to shoot 12 yards out.Gomez going off was an early blow – given he has only recently returned from a hamstring injury.Arne Slot’s team have started to enjoy more possession. Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones are still available on the bench to come on.Copy linkCopied28 – Plymouth 0-0 LiverpoolTold you there wasn’t much to shout about.Plymouth defending strongly and have a real presence up front should the chance to counter arise.Liverpool dominating the ball the last 10 minutes or so but it’s all in front of Argyle.Copy linkCopied23 – Plymouth 0-0 LiverpoolTalovierov just does enough to prevent Diaz breaking down the left.The big defender actually wins a goal kick though Diaz protests it should be a corner.Talovierov then celebrates having gotten the better of that exchange.

Not much quality in the opening quarter of the game at all though.Copy linkCopied18 – Plymouth 0-0 LiverpoolFirst booking of the afternoon is dished out as Nyoni is late with a challenge in the middle of the park.It could well be enough for a yellow on its own but he has already had a couple of niggling fouls, the youngster.Copy linkCopied14 – Plymouth 0-0 LiverpoolNow Nikola Katic is down for Plymouth.

SUNDAY’S FA Cup fourth round has delivered with Liverpool shock LOSS to Plymouth – and heads to Birmingham for a blockbuster. In the lunchtime game, Wolverhampton Wanderers dispatched Championship Blackburn Rovers with the Brazilian duo of Matheus Cunha and João Gomes on target to secure fifth round passage. Premier League leaders Liverpool crashed OUT of the FA Cup to the hands of Championship bottom-club Plymouth Argyle. Ryan Hardie’s 53rd-minute penalty separated the sides, but keeper Conor Hazard took all the plaudits for superb saves to shut the Reds out late on.The action rounded up as Aston Villa edged out Tottenham 2-1 to make their first FA Cup quarter-final in a DECADE. Jacob Ramsey first-minute effort and Morgan Rogers close-range tap-in on the 65th minute were sandwiched by a late Spurs consolation by Mathys Tel as Marcus Rashford also made his debut off the bench.

Can he survive this?Copy linkCopiedFrom Tom Barclay at Villa ParkFull-time here and despite Mathys Tel’s best efforts at the end, it is another cup exit for Ange Postecoglou in three daysTeenager Tel netted his first goal for the club in stoppage time with a smart finish, but it was not enough to turn the tie around as Villa ran out 2-1 winners.The focus will now shift to Postecoglou’s position which looks under increasing threat after the disappointments of the last week, in addition to the horrendous league form.He has a crippling injury list with a full first XI missing here.But whether that, plus the team still being in the Europa League, is enough to keep him in a job remains to be seen.Chairman Daniel Levy, who came under heavy fire from the away fans as he sat in the stands, has resisted any temptation to make a change so far.Postecoglou had to endure chants of ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ twice in the match, which overall was a pretty poor one from his side, despite Tel’s late intervention.Copy linkCopiedFULL TIMEAston Villa are through to the fifth round for the first time in a decade!ASTON VILLA 2-1 TOTTENHAMCopy linkCopied90+3 – Aston Villa 2-1 TottenhamSomeone HAS to take these set pieces off Son.Again it’s a lofted, floated, aimless ball into the area and too close to the keeper for Martinez to come out and collect.Copy linkCopied90+2 – Aston Villa 2-1 TottenhamBig chance for Spurs as they win a free kick wide on the left.It’s only 20 yards from the byline so a huge chance to load the box and get a good delivery in.Copy linkCopied90 – Aston Villa 2-1 TottenhamFive minutes added!Copy linkCopiedGOAL DETAIL: Aston Villa 2-1 TottenhamWho’d have thought putting a cross into the box might bring some joy!!?????Kulusevski with a peach of a cross in from the right.

Damning for his teammates.He actually wins a free kick as Rashford’s attempted shot sees him clatter the youngster. The replays have showed it again and it looks horrible. Gray lucky to be up and walking.Copy linkCopied88 – Aston Villa 2-0 TottenhamSarr tries a threaded pass into the box instead of crossing it and passes it straight out for a goal kick.Absolutely mince in the final third.Copy linkCopied86 – Aston Villa 2-0 TottenhamWhy, why, WHY don’t teams just whip it into the box anymore!? Son rolls it along the edge of the box in between Porro and Kulusevski.

KAORU MITOMA fired home after poor Chelsea defending as Brighton fought from a goal down to lead beat Chelsea in the FA Cup!Bart Verbruggen’s HOWLER gave Chelsea the lead in their FA Cup fourth round clash, before Giorginio Rutter equalised within 10 minutes.Cole Palmer’s speculative cross back into the box saw Verbruggen get it all wrong and concede to put Chelsea into the lead, then Georginio turned in a super header to equalise.A mix-up at the back – with Chelsea failing to clear – saw the ball drop to Mitoma, with the Japan international firing the Seagulls into the lead.Kick-off: 8pmBrighton XI: Verburggen, Lamptey, Dunk, Georginio, Minteh, Welbeck, Baleba, Mitoma, Van Hecke, Veltman, Hinshelwood.Chelsea XI: Sanchex, Gusto, Tosin, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto, Palmer, Sancho, Nkunku.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Tomorrow’s tiesAnd three more ties to come tomorrow!Tomorrow’s fixturesBlackburn vs Wolves – 12.30pmPlymouth vs Liverpool – 3pmAston Villa vs Tottenham – 5.35pmCopy linkCopiedFull time from Isabelle Barker at the Amex StadiumEnzo Maresca’s magic seems to be wearing off at Chelsea and the honeymoon period is over. The club’s demise has been brutal, with now only three wins from ten games in all competitions. Fans are making their views loud and clear, with hordes of the 7,000 Chelsea supporters who travelled down already out the exit doors before this match finished. There is only the Europa Conference League and top four to play for this season and Maresca needs to quickly find answers to the doubts surrounding his leadership and tactics. It really looked as though he ran out of ideas at the Amex. There was zero creativity or personality to this performance from the Blues. Copy linkCopiedFA cup resultsThe FA Cup fourth round scores from this exciting, long Saturday of action.Leeds 0-2 MillwallLeyton Orient 1-2 Man CityCoventry City 1-4 Ipswich TownEverton 0-2 BournemouthPreston 0-0 Wycombe (Preston win on pens)Southampton 0-1 BurnleyStoke City 3-3 Cardiff City (Cardiff win on pens)Wigan Athletic 1-2 FulhamBirmingham 2-3 NewcastleBrighton 2-1 ChelseaCopy linkCopiedFULL TIME!Chelsea are KNOCKED OUT of the FA Cup!

He has expressed a desire to play at a “high level” so Brighton will need to make it into Europe once again or bring home silverware this season. Copy linkCopied70 – Brighton 2-1 ChelseaNothing comes of the set piece.Copy linkCopied69 – Brighton 2-1 ChelseaCaicedo chops down Lamptey as Brighton attack down their left hand side.Easy yellow card for the referee that one and a decent free kick for the Seagulls from a free kick on the left.Copy linkCopied68 – Brighton 2-1 ChelseaBrighton now make their second change of the night.OFF: HinshelwoodON: GomezCopy linkCopied64 – Brighton 2-1 ChelseaIt was all a bit scrappy before the goal for Brighton but they won’t care too much as the finish was class.Chelsea up the other end have a chance with Neto on the right but his cross is far too deep, missing everyone and drifting harmlessly behind.Copy linkCopiedGOAL DETAIL: Brighton 2-1 ChelseaThere’s a bit of pinball on the edge of the Chelsea box.The loose ball is picked up and a clever bouncing pass is knocked to Mitoma in space on the left and he places a lofted finish with the outside of his right foot beyond Sanchez.Cucurella is the one tracking back to try and clear off the line but he can’t reach it.A great response after losing that early, silly goal from Brighton!Copy linkCopied58 – Brighton 2-1 ChelseaEnzo Maresca goes to his bench immediately after the goal.OFF: Dewsbury-HallON: FernandezCopy linkCopied57 – GOAL!

Wigan 0-1 FULHAMThe Premier League hit the front through RODRIGO MUNIZ!Delicious cross from Sessegnon wide on the left finds Muniz on the edge of the six-yard box and he nods back across goal and into the back of the net.It might well have gone in via Luke Robinson.Copy linkCopied19 – GOAL! Stoke 0-2 CARDIFFAnd the lead for the Bluebirds has been doubled by YOUSEF SALECH!But it’s a huge error for Stoke at the back that has cost it.A long, direct ball from left back over the top of the Stoke defence looks set to be dealt with by keeper or centre back.They almost leave it to one another and Salech nips in, gets his foot to it and lifts it over the keeper and into the net.
