Liverpool vs Exeter City Preview: League two side Exeter City can pose a real threat for Liverpool’s chances en route to wembley in FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp will be getting the real taste of english football with Liverpool’s third game inside a week and to top that off he is struggling to assemble a starting lineup for FA Cup clash with as many as 12 players missing through injuries. Although Exeter City has the history against them as they have lost all 5 of the games played between the sides.
Looking at the form of both teams its hard to see Exeter City getting anything from this match all they will be hoping is a draw to get a replay at Anfield which will be disaster for Liverpool considering their other commitments in UEFA Europa League and Capital One Cup.
Team News & Lineups: Liverpool will be without any of the first team central defender as Skrtel, Lovren, Sakho and Toure all missing out through injuries which means Emre Can might start in central defense alongside Lucas who shifted in against Stoke in midweek. Philipe Coutinho will also join Danial Sturridge on the injury list but a rare positive is of course the return of James Milner who will fill in as captain with Henderson also ruled out.
Even with a second or third string side Liverpool should have enough in their locker to get the better of 16th place team in fourth tier of english football. Exeter City has only won 2 matches in their last 10 games while Liverpool will be buzzing with their back to back wins in the league and Capital One Cup. I am going with a comfortable win for Liverpool in this one.
