Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City to face top-flight opposition in FA Cup fourth round

Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City have been drawn against top-flight opposition in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Pilgrims will go up against Liverpool at home and the Grecians will host Nottingham Forest.

It comes after Argyle beat Brentford 1-0 on Saturday, whilst City secured a 3-1 win against Oxford United.

It has been eight years since Plymouth were drawn against the Reds in the competition. On that occasion, Derek Adams' Pilgrims, then a Sky Bet League Two side, battled to a famous 0-0 draw, before narrowly losing 1-0 at Home Park.

Exeter last played against Forest in 1951, and this is the first time the Devon-side have qualified for the fourth round of the competition in 44 years.

There are 32 teams remaining in the fourth round, with ties set to be played over the weekend of February 8.
