Jurgen Klopp has spoken to the media ahead of Liverpool’s trip to West Ham, and obviously it was only a matter of time before the team selection fort the replay against Shrewsbury was brought up.

Basically, the first team were expecting a break when the replay has been scheduled for and Klopp is keeping that promise to the players by taking them – and himself – out of the game.
