Liverpool vs Shrewsbury prediction and odds: Jurgen Klopp's side should ease past League One side

Liverpool begin this season FA Cup contest with home advantage against a Shrewsbury Town side who are familiar with Jurgen Klopp's tactics.

The Reds are the obvious favourites at 1/6 with Grosvenor Sport while Shrewsbury are 12/1 and a draw is 13/2.

Liverpool have suffered a couple of setbacks - first one being main forwards Sadio Mane and Mo Salah off to the Africa Cup of Nations for their respective nations with the second one being COVID-19 affecting the side.

It caused Klopp to miss out on a match with Pep Ljinders in charge from the dugout at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Shrewsbury return to Anfield after successfully seeing off non-league Stratford Town and Carlisle in the earlier rounds.

Player to watch

I am going to back Roberto Firmino to star in this match with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah on international duty at the African Cup of Nations.

The Brazilian striker's season has been hampered by a number of injuries but with the former Hoffenheim man would be the perfect player to take Shrewsbury's defence apart and slot in a goal or two. He is 11/10 to score anytime.
