Jose Enrique Captain – Liverpool Team vs Exeter City Confirmed

Liverpool have announced their team and substitutes for tonight's FA Cup replay against League Two outfit Exeter City at Anfield.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has chosen to start Christian Benteke against Exeter as he aims to shoot down the lower league side and the Belgian will be supported by Joao Teixeira and Jordon Ibe. Joe Allen is included in midfield to bring his experience to the fray, while Tiago Ilori and Jose Enrique line up in defence ahead of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Enrique has the captain's armband while on the bench Klopp can turn to Sheyi Ojo and Jerome Sinclair if he needs to look to change the game.

Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw with Exeter in the first meeting between the two clubs, coming from behind to earn this evening's replay. The Reds however go into the match on the back of a home defeat to Manchester United.

Jose Enrique captains Liverpool for FA Cup clash with Exeter and is brutally trolled throughout

After a topsy-turvy stint with the club, we think it's fair to say that Jose Enrique is in the twilight of his Liverpool career.

He seems to have been in the twilight of his Reds career for the last three years, in all honesty. Having played with relative regularity under Kenny Dalglish , he plummeted down the pecking order during the early part of Brendan Rodgers' tenure and never really recovered.

Well, unless you count his return to the side for tonight's FA Cup clash with Exeter .

In a bizarre and surprising move, Jurgen Klopp named Enrique as his captain ahead of the 3-0 win over The Grecians at Anfield; that despite the fact that the defender rarely makes the matchday squad these days, let alone the pitch. Most fans were absolutely gobsmacked to see the much-maligned left-back emerge from the tunnel wearing the captain's armband.
