Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt has called upon the FA to take action against Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp's decision to field no senior players in their replay with Shrewsbury.
League One Shrewsbury stunned the world champions on Sunday evening, fighting back from two goals down to secure a replay at Anfield. However, Liverpool's boss has come under fire for claiming that only 'the kids' will feature in the return match, while Under-23 boss Neil Critchley will take charge.
