Liverpool predicted lineup vs Shrewsbury - FA Cup

Liverpool welcome League One side Shrewsbury to Anfield in the FA Cup third round on Sunday as they battle a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

Pep Lijnders followed manager Jurgen Klopp in testing positive for Covid-19, as the club were forced to take action and close their training centre earlier this week. Their Carabao Cup semi-final meeting with Arsenal was also postponed.

The Reds cancelled their FA Youth Cup clash with Burnley this week with several Under-18s set to take part in this weekend's game.

It remains to be seen which players will be missing for Liverpool, but here's how the Reds could line up.
