Plymouth Argyle 1-4 Leeds United AET highlights: Whites taken to extra-time in FA Cup replay
A tie against Premier League opposition awaits whichever team comes out on top in Devon tonight. Leeds' long trip south comes just days after their triumphant return from Bristol City where Liam Manning's Robins were beaten on Friday evening.
Willy Gnonto's second half strike was enough to secure all three points at Ashton Gate, however attentions are swiftly turned to knockout football once again as the Whites' FA Cup Fourth Round replay focuses Leeds minds.

Hide AdJaidon Anthony scored in the initial tie at Elland Road late last month, before Adam Randell's second half equaliser ensured a replay would be required. In the meantime, Leeds have added Burnley full-back Connor Roberts on loan, although the 28-year-old is ineligible to feature this evening having not been registered by United when the original Fourth Round fixture was played.
Argyle loanees Darko Gyabi and Alfie Devine remain unable to play in this one, as does former Elland Road man Adam Forshaw - he is cup-tied owing to his brief stint with Norwich City earlier this season.
Kick-off at Home Park is at 7:45pm. Build-up, team news, analysis and live match updates here throughout the evening.

No Roberts tonight
Connor Roberts ineligible tonight as he was not a Leeds United player when the initial tie was played.
We wait until Saturday for his debut.
If any of you were hoping to see Ethan Ampadu rested tonight, it's not likely. The Welsh international has travelled and is expected to start for Farke, along with the likes of Joe Rodon, Illan Meslier and Archie Gray.
We'll have team news for you at 18:45. Arrivals from 18:15.

On the road
Leeds have not conceded in their last three away games, chalking up back-to-back 3-0 wins at Peterborough United and Cardiff City before last Friday's 1-0 win against Bristol City.
Home Park
It's a bit of a fortress this season - as has also been the case for Leeds at Elland Road.
Plymouth have scored 3+ goals in seven of their last nine home matches. Argyle have also scored a minimum of two goals in each of their last nine at Home Park.
Hard to beat
Plymouth are one of the Championship's form teams currently. Just one defeat in their last 11 games (W4, D6, L1) across all competitions. Leeds will have their work cut out if they think tonight's encounter will be a walk in the park - as the initial tie proved.
