From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

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.

FULL TIME

TOTTENHAM 2 - 0 ASTON VILLA 

It's all over at White Hart Lane, with Tottenham's two late goals securing their position in the fourth round. It was a ponderous display in the first half, with relentless efforts stopped by the Villa defence. However, the words of Pochettino at half-time appeared to do the trick and goals from Davies and Son sent Villa packing. 

It was far from pretty, but a win is a win. 

That's all of the FA Cup action over for the day, with some surprising results packed in there. 

That's all from us at The Independent, but make sure to tune in next week for our live Premier League blogs.
