Liverpool line-up vs Shrewsbury as Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones help create history

Curtis Jones will become the youngest captain in Liverpool’s history this evening.

Jones, who turned 19 last Thursday, will lead the Reds for their FA Cup fourth round replay against League One side Shrewsbury Town at Anfield.

Under-23s boss Neil Critchley, deputising in the dugout for the absent Jurgen Klopp, has handed a debut to three players with all of Liverpool’s senior squad on a winter break.

Adam Lewis, who recently returned from a long-term knee injury, will start at left-back, while Jake Cain has been given a place in midfield and Canada international Liam Millar leads the attack.
