Plymouth 0-1 Liverpool: FA Cup third round replay - as it happened

Full time across the country in the final FA Cup third round replays, and we have avoided extra time (hooray!). Liverpool steal the headlines as they overcome Plymouth via Lucas Leiva's first goal for seven years.

Elsewhere, Matt Ritchie scored twice as Newcastle overcame Birmingham City while Southampton scored in added-on time through Shane Long as they held off Championship side Norwich City.

That is all we have time for on this live blog. We're back with coverage from the Premier League over the weekend, but until next time, good evening.

Full time: Newcastle United 3-1 Birmingham

Full time: Plymouth 0-1 Liverpool

GOAL! Newcastle United 3-1 Birmingham (Matt Ritchie)

Full time: Southampton 1-0 Norwich

Four added minutes at Home Park. Liverpool hanging on, a little.

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Norwich City (Shane Long)

Songo'o dives in on Albert Moreno and Plymouth's status in the FA Cup is hanging by a thread as a penalty is awarded. Divock Origi steps up by McCormack makes a good save to his right. Can Plymouth take advantage?

Penalty to Liverpool

Plymouth pushing hard for an equaliser.

Last throw of the dice for Plymouth as the big Nauris Bulvitis comes on for the Jordan Slew. Can Argyle force one more chance? They've had a fair few already.

What a chance for Plymouth! A long ball finds Bradley, whose header across the goal finds Jervis whose flashing volley hits the outside of the post. So close for the hosts, who have had a decent period of pressure.

GOAL! Newcastle United 2-1 Birmingham (David Cotterill)

Almost a goal on his Liverpool debut for Harry Wilson as Luke McCormack hits a goalkeeper against the forward but the ball balloons over the bar. Scrappy display this from Plymouth, who have not shown a great deal to convince they can get back into the game.

Big night for young Harry Wilson, who is coming on for his Liverpool debut. The Under-23 star will replace Philippe Coutinho, who has lasted over an hour on his full return to the Reds first team.

Loris Karius makes a mess of a Jervis cross, under pressure from Garita, and drops the ball at the feet of the Plymouth forward. Garita can only poke the ball over and anyway the referee's whistle had already gone. Nervy moment for the Liverpool stopper.

Liverpool monopolising possession at the start of this second half, not giving Plymouth an ounce of encouragement. Home side can't get out of their own defensive third.

Arnold Garita is key to Plymouth's hopes of staging a comeback.

Signal of intent from Argyle as David Fox shoots from range and Karius gets down to keep it out.

Players out and we're back underway at Home Park. Can Plymouth turn this around and produce the shock of the round?

Half time: Plymouth 0-1 Liverpool

Not much to choose between these sides by the visitors have the lead through Lucas' first goal for seven years. Plymouth have been competitive but they have work to do to keep themselves in the competition.

It's half-time in the other two replays, where Newcastle lead Birmingham 2-0, while Southampton and Norwich are deadlocked at St Mary's

GOAL! Newcastle United 2-0 Birmingham (Yoan Gouffran)

Rafa Benitez won the trophy in 2006 and is heading for a fourth round appearance with Newcastle. Shelvey's free-kick finds Gouffran, who controls the ball, turns and fires home.

What a chance for Plymouth! Threlkeld gets down the right and crosses for Garita, whose deflected shot wrong-foots Karius but goes wide of the Liverpool goal.

Liverpool go close to a second as Gomez gets in behind and crosses on the volley, but it is just behind Sturridge who was waiting to tap into an empty net.

Lucas Leiva celebrates his first goal for seven years to give Liverpool the lead.

The Pilgrims keep pushing and Joe Gomez is booked for fouling Garita as he went through on goal. Chance for Plymouth with a free-kick 20 yards from goal but Jake Jervis fires horribly wide.

A flurry of chances for Plymouth to draw level straight away as Graham Carey tests Karius from fully 25 yards, forcing the Reds 'keeper to turn the shot away one-handed.

GOAL! Plymouth 0-1 Liverpool (Lucas Leiva)

The deadlock is broken inside the opening 20 minutes and Plymouth will be kicking themselves frankly. A Coutinho corner is hit towards the near post and Lucas Leiva gets across his man and powers a header beyond Luke McCormack. Liverpool's smallest player gets a free header from a corner; almost unforgivable from an Argyle point of view.

Plymouth holding firm, just as they did at Anfield. Liverpool struggling for space in and around the penalty area and their latest attack ends when Trent Alexander-Arnold, who started at Old Trafford on Sunday, overhits and cross and it goes behind.

Should Liverpool have had a penalty? Sturridge cuts back inside Oscar Threlkeld and is tripped by the stand-in full-back. Graham Scott, the referee, is unmoved however.

GOAL! Newcastle United 1-0 Birmingham (Matt Ritchie)

Goalkeeper Legzdins takes down Yoan Gouffran in the box and Ritchie steps up and opens the scoring for the hosts.

First we've seen of Daniel Sturridge tonight, who faces up to the Plymouth defence, shifts the ball onto his right foot by blasts high over the bar. The hosts will gladly deal with efforts like that all day.

Half a chance for Plymouth inside the first six minute. An early corner is swung into the middle and bid forward Arnold Garita gets his head on the ball, but can't direct it goalwards.

Liverpool named their youngster ever team in the first game but no lack of experience tonight in the form of Coutinho and Sturridge. But can they break Plymouth down?

So our coverage tonight will focus on events at Plymouth, but we'll have all the updates and goals from the other two ties. Southampton host Norwich and Newcastle take on Birmingham. We're ready to go on the final night of action in the third round.

Steve McManaman is in the hot seat for BT Sport tonight, after he heavily criticised Plymouth during their 0-0 draw at Anfield. Hope he doesn't take personal offence to football tactics, again.

Klopp and Liverpool have certainly been made welcome in Devon this evening, and the German coach is relishing the opportunity for his side to be tested against by the League Two opposition. Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho have the chance to get some much-needed minutes, while the likes of Ovie Ejaria and Ben Woodburn have another chance to impress.

Jurgen Klopp has arrives on the south coast. Wonder if he imagined he'd be on a stage like this when he arrived in the Premier League.

This is the second of two nights of third round replays. Last night, the likes of Sutton and Lincoln City looked to retain non-league interest in the FA Cup. To catch-up on all the ties, head this way for our round-up of events on Tuesday.

Away from the FA Cup for just a minute, let me point you in the direction of an exclusive story regarding Luke Shaw's future at Manchester United. The full-back has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, but the player's agent has attack the story as "irresponsible journalism". Full story can be found here.

Liverpool have found themselves embroiled in a ridiculous club vs country row with Cameroon and Fifa over Joel Matip, who is currently unable to play for the Reds due to not being given international clearance. Matip has turned down an offer to play at the Africa Cup of Nations, having retired from international football.

Nevertheless, Fifa rules state Liverpool must acquire permission to play Matip before he resumes club duties. A points deduction or even ejection from a cup competition could be part of the punishment if he were to play. Here is the full story of another example of football eating itself.

Finally, at St James' Park......

Team news from elsewhere now, starting with Southampton vs Norwich...

One change for Plymouth from the stalemate at Anfield. Ryan Donaldson comes in for the injured Gary Miller - who suffered an ankle injury in the first game - meaning a shake-up in the Pilgrims defence.

Two changes for Liverpool from that same game. Philippe Coutinho makes his first start since that ankle injury instead of Emre Can, while Daniel Sturridge is in for Sheyi Ojo. Lucas Leiva starts at the back.

Teams in ahead of schedule at Home Park.

Plymouth attempting to butter up Jurgen Klopp ahead of kick-off tonight.

Very old school programme for tonight's game.

Let's look at the team news for Plymouth vs Liverpool before the team are announced around an hour before kick-off.

David Goodwillie is not available for the hosts following a civil case but Conor Smith is injury and is also out.

Liverpool can't call on Joel Matip due to Fifa having yet to clear his participation, while Lucas Leiva and Nathaniel Clyne are the latest additions to the club's injury list.

Liverpool may currently be in a war with Fifa but tonight promises to be a battle equally as tough as they travel to League Two Plymouth Argyle for a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp has found himself at the centre of a club vs country skirmish over Joel Matip, who still awaits international clearance to play for his club despite rejecting a call-up to the Cameroon squad for the Africa Cup of Nations. More on that later.

Plymouth are currently second in League Two, four points behind leaders Doncaster with a game in hand and have a six point buffer inside the automatic promotion places. Therefore, Derek Adams' side can give tonight a real go and attack a Reds side who couldn't break through the Pilgrims during the fist game at Anfield.

Elsewhere, the third round concludes with two other ties. An all-Championship clash sees Newcastle host Birmingham for the right to visit Oxford United, while Southampton and Norwich will duel for the prize of facing Arsenal in round four.

All the team news and updates on the way ahead of the 7:45pm kick-offs on the way.
