Liverpool assistant coach Peter Krawietz is confident their youngsters will be ready for Shrewsbury Town.

The Reds will meet Shrewsbury in the third round of the FA Cup.

Krawietz said: "I hope that excitement is the right word for that.

"Looking forward to that game. I hope they can't wait until the game starts and it is the opposite of being nervous. Of course, we try to make them as confident as they should be and as focused as they need to be. That's how we try to prepare them for that game. In football it is always like that, it is not about trying to avoid mistakes, it's all about the reaction on mistakes. Can we expect a perfect set-up for tomorrow?

"No, of course we can't but we can always show the right and perfect reaction to what is happening on the pitch. This is what we try to do, a proper team performance with experienced leaders in the team and young players who will get this fantastic experience to play at Anfield and feel the support of our supporters."
