Liverpool vs Shrewsbury predicted team: Lovren, Matip and Fabinho in

Adam Lallana, Fabinho, Curtis Jones

One massive bonus for this young side will be the addition of Fabinho through the heart of midfield. The Brazilian has been out since November and has slowly been handed a few minutes as a substitute while he builds up his match fitness.

On Sunday, the Octopus should be unleashed. His presence will be a huge help to attacking, inexperienced full-backs Larouci and Williams as Fabinho will sit back and break up attacks – allowing them some extra wiggle room as they work the overlap.

Lallana has been waiting for his chance since the Everton game and it will come again this weekend. As the most experienced player in the team for that game, the former Southampton man ran the midfield and provided a passing metronome as Liverpool slowly grew into the 90 minutes.

Jones is the man we’ll all be watching after his spectacular finish during the third round demanded we all pay attention to him. Klopp has resisted the temptation to introduce him into the Premier League, but a good performance here could give the gaffer something to think about.

With Sadio Mane out, there is a position up for grabs. Could it be Jones’s by the end of Sunday?
