Northampton or Derby against Man Utd. What a story it could be if Derby qualify and Rooney plays against #mufc. In this respect it seems almost inevitable. #facupdraw

Klopp picking his team after seeing we’d face Chelsea away anyway

I wonder if Klopp will be in charge at Chelsea IF they beat Shrewsbury?? What a cock!!
— Gareth McNamara ?? (@GazethM) January 27, 2020
Klopp has said that he will not play any of his Liverpool 1st team player against Shrewsbury for the Replay. I'm sure ever Chelsea fan will be praying that Klopp keeps to his words so Shrewsbury can have a chance of winning the match. ?

Sorry Pep, will you be ok with a team in tenth in the Championship? I hope that's not too testing for you. Good luck with getting into round six. #FACup
