Jurgen Klopp must be wondering what he's let himself in for at Liverpool. At this time of the year the German is often on holiday as the Bundesliga takes its winter break. Not so in England though as this is Liverpool's fifth game in 13 days. It doesn't get any easier because the next eight days see his side host Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League and he'll be hoping that isn't swiftly followed by a cup replay against Exeter. Liverpool have already met one side from League Two this season and that was the penalty shoot out win over Carlisle that did a great deal to get rid of Brendan Rodgers. They had chance after chance that night but still only drew 0-0 after 120 minutes. They're likely to get lots of possession here as well but hopefully they'll be able to find the net this time. What side Klopp puts out will be fascinating. It was only on Tuesday that his side beat Stoke 1-0 in the Capital One Cup and they suffered some serious injury blows in that game. Exeter are down in 16th place in League Two but only nine points off the play-off places and in no danger of being relegated to the National League. Last year they suffered a big FA Cup shock losing to non-league Warrington. This season they've beaten Didcot and Port Vale to reach this stage. They certainly don't come into this game in any kind of good form having lost their last four league games. Exeter have conceded at least two goals in each of those games and regardless of what side Liverpool put out, the Reds should have few problems getting through to round four, especially if they can get a vital early goal.
