National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Shrewsbury Town or Liverpool that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier League. That game, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Liverpool.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
Shrewsbury Town was eliminated in the 4th round replays last season in the FA Cup.Shrewsbury Town have played 12 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). 3W-2D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the FA Cup for Shrewsbury Town.
An away draw last time out for Shrewsbury Town, facing Fleetwood Town in a game that ended 2-2. Before that, Shrewsbury Town had a FA Cup home game versus Bristol City which ended with a victory 1-0.
The Shrewsbury Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. 15 goals have been conceded.
Liverpool form and stats
Liverpool's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Liverpool so far, with 10-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Premier League statistics. Things are running smoothly for Liverpool who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 40 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Manchester City. Liverpool are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 19 in a row without losing.
Two travels in a row for Liverpool, whose manager J. Klopp could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Before that, Liverpool secured a home win against Manchester United with the score 2-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Liverpool manager J. Klopp as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against West Ham United.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Liverpool are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
