Liverpool have not lost points in the league game in three months. But in the FA Cup away against the League One team Shrewsbury, it was only 2-2 yesterday.

The crux is just that the club is not available that date. After the Premier League meetings against West Ham on Wednesday and Southampton on Saturday, the league is on a two week winter break.

Despite this, the FA Cup has chosen to post the replay on February 4. Coach Jürgen Klopp now tells Liverpool that he will nobb the match and send the youth team instead.

- In April 2019 we received an email from the Premier League asking them to respect the winter break and not organize any training matches or competition matches. I told the team two weeks ago that we will have a break and we will not be available. So that means we won't play. It will be the youngsters who get to play that match, because they can't treat us like no one cares. I know it won't be popular, but that's how I see it. We will respect the winter break. We will not play and I will not be there either, he says to the news agency AP.
