How did Liverpool's youngsters fare in Plymouth FA Cup draw?

Liverpool named their youngest-ever starting line-up for their FA Cup third round clash with Sky Bet League Two Plymouth on Sunday.

Five teenagers were included in an XI with an average age of 21 years and 296 days, but they were unable to break down the visitors, who held on for a goalless draw and earned a replay at Home Park, which will be played in the week of January 16.

We take a look at how Liverpool's youngsters performed at Anfield…

Ben Woodburn

The youngest player in the line-up at 17 years and three months, this was Woodburn's first start for Liverpool, and his first appearance since becoming the club's youngest scorer when he netted against Leeds in the EFL Cup in November.

He was a threat in the box as Liverpool dominated the first half, showing quick feet on a couple occasions to good effect.

He forced Plymouth goalkeeper Luke McCormick into a save when he twisted past a defender and prodded a shot goalwards.

Like the rest of the team, he faded in the second half and was replaced with 15 minutes remaining.

Joe Gomez

Making his first appearance since October 2015, Gomez was deployed at centre-half rather than full-back.

That limited his ability to get forward, although he was largely around the halfway line as Liverpool dominated the opening 45 minutes.

He didn't have much to do, even when Plymouth came into the game more after the break, but did block a shot from Craig Tanner after he cut inside from the right.

Asked about Gomez's return to action, Klopp said: "It was wonderful, but I don't think it was the most difficult game of his whole life. He did well, he is an outstanding talent, no doubt.

"It was a real job to do, a few physical fights and then afterwards a complete change from a big strong guy and the small and quick boy came on the pitch."

Trent Alexander-Arnold

The full-back was one of Liverpool's brightest players in the first half as he regularly got forward down the right flank.

But he wasn't able to deliver the final ball the Reds needed, spurning several opportunities with crosses that were too close to goalkeeper McCormick.

His threat faded in the second half, but, as against Leeds in November, he showed enough to suggest he could have a bright future.

Ovie Ejaria

Making his sixth appearance of the season, Ejaria was into the action early with a third-minute shot that went a few yards wide.

With Plymouth camped around their own box, he showed some nice touches and looked composed in possession.

However, he was unable to make much of an impact in an attacking sense against the stubborn League Two side.

Sheyi Ojo

Looked a threat at times down the right side in the first half, although he largely cut inside rather than looking to get into space down the wing.

He spurned Liverpool's best chance when he miscued a header from six yards out.
