Minnows attempt to do what none of the Premier League clubs has managed to achieve this season

Should Tranmere Rovers have lost to Watford on Thursday night in a third-round replay, Shrewsbury, 16th in League One, will be the second lowest-ranked survivor in this year’s competition, 59 rungs below Liverpool on the ladder. Burnley host bottom club Norwich City while on Monday 13-time winners Arsenal are at Bournemouth. West Ham United will have to put aside their relegation fears as they host Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion while Chelsea go to Hull City.

Wholesale changes are to be expected, including for Liverpool’s trip to Shrewsbury. Yet Klopp is unlikely to field his “kids” again — as he did for the Villa game when the first-team was in Qatar for FIFA’s World Club Cup — as his FA Cup record at Anfield is modest and he has yet to take his side to the fifth round.

In 2019 they held Wolves to a 2-2 draw in the fourth round before losing a replay. Shrewsbury have also hosted Liverpool before in the FA Cup before. In 1996 they lost 4-0 in a fourth-round tie twice postponed by a winter freeze and which came days after the death of Liverpool’s great manager Bob Paisley.
