Pre-Plymouth stats: Reds out to continue strong replay record
Liverpool travel to Plymouth Argyle for their FA Cup third-round replay tonight. What do the stats tell us about the game at Home Park? Club statistician Ged Rea has the answers...
The last time the clubs met at Home Park was in April 1962, with Liverpool winning 3-2 in a Second Division game. Alan A'Court, Ian St John and Roger Hunt scored the Reds' goals.
Liverpool have not lost to a team at least three divisions below them in the FA Cup since 1959, when non-league Worcester City beat them 2-1.
Last season, Jürgen Klopp's side defeated another Devon club, Exeter City, at this stage after a replay.
Tonight's game will be the Reds' 93rd replay in this competition. They have previously won 61, lost 24 and drawn seven.
At the third-round stage, they have won 24, drawn one and lost five of their 30 replays.
In the first meeting 10 days ago, Liverpool fielded their youngest ever starting XI - the average age being 21 years and 296 days.
Ben Woodburn became the club's youngest ever FA Cup player at the age of 17 years and 85 days, while Trent Alexander-Arnold (18 years and 93 days) became the third-youngest in the competition.
Liverpool are two goals short of recording 150 under Klopp in league and cup.
