Back on December 7, Storm Darragh postponed the Merseyside derby, but now it’s time for game on. Liverpool suffered a shocking result earlier today, crashing out of the FA Cup, in the 4th round, at the hands of lowly Plymouth Argyle. The dead last place side in the Championship beat the first place team in the Premier League.
It’s certainly a historical result that will be talked about for a long time.
