How Liverpool could line up against Shrewsbury Town

How Liverpool could line up against Shrewsbury

Liverpool will be looking to maintain their incredible run of form when they head to New Meadow for an FA Cup fourth-round tie with Shrewsbury Town on Sunday.

The Reds beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 on Thursday evening to make it nine wins in a row in all competitions as they moved 16 points clear at the Premier League summit.

That run includes a 1-0 win over Merseyside rivals Everton in the last round of the FA Cup, with Jurgen Klopp's decision to heavily rotate his side being vindicated by Curtis Jones's incredible strike.

Ahead of this weekend's clash with League One side Shrewsbury, Sports Mole looks at how Liverpool could line up.

Liverpool lost Mane to a first-half injury in the win at Wolves and may be facing a spell without one of their most influential players.

That will not matter all that much on Sunday as Klopp is expected to name a largely inexperienced side, albeit with more first-team regulars than the one fielded against Everton.

Divock Origi, Fabinho and Joel Matip are among the experienced players pushing for minutes, but this will otherwise be a chance for the next generation to impress.

Takumi Minamino made his Premier League debut in midweek and should start out wide here, with Harvey Elliott in contention to claim a spot on the opposite flank.

Elsewhere, Jones will be one of the first names on the teamsheet after his winner against Everton.
