Possible Liverpool tie a lifeline for Newport

Newport County boss Graham Westley believes an FA Cup third-round clash at Liverpool could transform the club.

The Exiles, who are bottom of the Football League, will travel to Anfield if they can beat Plymouth in a second-round replay at Rodney Parade.

The two teams drew 0-0 at Home Park, but Westley warned there is still work to do if the Exiles are to enjoy the benefits of facing Jurgen Klopp's side.

"Financially, it's a game-changer." Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport.

Westley has had previous experience of success in the FA Cup, but has warned Newport to focus squarely on their replay with Plymouth.
