Klopp to risk youth against Exeter

Injuries and a busy schedule will see Jurgen Klopp give Liverpool's youngsters a chance against Exeter City.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is set to risk an early FA Cup exit by playing kids in the clash against Exeter City on Friday.

The German's injury-ravaged squad plays for the fifth time in 14 days when it visits St James Park for the third-round clash.

Klopp said he was unwilling to risk his more regular players again as he looks ahead to Premier League meetings with Arsenal and Manchester United.

He said it would be left to the club's youth to see their side advance.
