Liverpool travel to St James Park to face Exeter City in the third round of the FA Cup tonight.

Jurgen Klopp has a huge injury list to contend with and makes the trip south with a total of 11 senior players in the treatment room.

The German coach has been forced to field a young and inexperienced side but Christian Benteke has been passed fit and will lead the Reds' line.

Spanish left-back Jose Enrique is set to play in central defence, due to a lack of options, while Ryan Kent and Tiago Ilori will both make their debuts in Devon.

Liverpool are unbeaten in 10 games in cup competitions this season while Exeter have failed to win any of their last five league games.

The Grecians are currently languishing in the bottom half of League Two but the last time Paul Tisdale's side reached the third round they earned a goalless draw at Old Trafford in 2005.

On paper the Merseysiders should run out comfortable winners, despite their weakened team, but this is the FA Cup and upsets do happen.

But who will come out on top? Tune in from 7pm for all the build-up to tonight’s match!
