Anfield will feel rather different for the FA Cup fourth round replay between Liverpool and Shrewsbury Town this evening.
Certainly, there is less expectation on the players who will take to the field than there would ordinarily be, while the crowd is likely to be made up more of those players who might not always be able to secure tickets.
Our writers have had their say on who Neil Critchley should pick when he selects his starting XI, with plenty of decisions to be made …
Adam Lewis gets his first senior start ‘
Ian Doyle: Regular watchers of Liverpool’s under – side probably won’t be too surprised at who trots out later this evening.
For everyone else, though, it could well be a bit of an eye-opener.
Even compared to the side that took on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in December, there will be some new faces.
But what should Neil Critchley do?
Caoimhin Kelleher is a definite in goal, as is Neco Williams at right-back.
Ki-Jana Hoever should get the nod ahead of Morgan Boyes to partner Sepp van den Berg at center-back, while concerns over Yasser Larouci mean Adam Lewis can go left-back.
In midfield, Pedro Chirivella is the anchor , Leighton Clarkson has earned a chance, and Curtis Jones can be the attacking fulcrum even if he could easily play on the left of the front three, where he has been for the under – s this season.
Up top, January signing Joe Hardy can lead the line with Harvey Elliott on the rig ht and Liam Millar on the left.
My team (4-3-3): Kelleher; Williams, Hoever, Van den Berg, Lewis; Chirivella, Clarkson, Jones; Elliott, Hardy, Millar.
