Reds will bounce back, says Klopp

JURGEN Klopp insists Liverpool will use the frustration of their dramatic draw with Manchester United to avoid FA Cup humiliation at fourth tier Plymouth tomorrow.

Klopp’s side were denied a memorable victory over bitter rivals United when Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed a late equaliser at Old Trafford on Sunday.

James Milner’s first-half penalty had put the Reds in front, but they could not add a killer second goal and paid the price when Ibrahimovic struck in the 84th minute to leave Liverpool seven points behind English Premier League leaders Chelsea.

It was a painful lesson in the value of a lethal forward, something Liverpool have sorely missed for much of the season, and especially during their current run of four games without a win in all competitions.

One of those draws came against plucky Plymouth, who took advantage of Klopp’s decision to rest all his established stars and send out Liverpool’s youngest ever lineup in a goalless third-round encounter at Anfield earlier this month.

It was a day to remember for Plymouth and the minnows fancy their chances of causing a famous shock in the replay at Home Park if Klopp fields another weakened team.

Plymouth manager Derek Adams believes the culture shock facing Liverpool’s stars at humble Home Park could work in his team’s favour.

“Not as luxurious dressing rooms as they have there, even though we’re in a porta-cabin. From that point of view, welcome to the real world,” he said.

In other third-round replays, Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce desperately needs to beat third tier Bolton at Selhurst Park.

Allardyce is still waiting for his first victory since arriving at Palace last month to replace the sacked Alan Pardew.

Sunderland, another team mired in the relegation battle, travel to fellow Premier League side Burnley, who are on the up after surging away from the bottom three.

Southampton host second tier Norwich, with the winner facing Arsenal in the fourth round. The fixtures: Today: Wimbledon v Sutton, Barnsley v Blackpool, Burnley v Sunderland, Crystal Palace v Bolton, Fleetwood v Bristol City, Lincoln v Ipswich

Tomorrow: Newcastle v Birmingham, Plymouth v Liverpool, Southampton v Norwich
