Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will watch his team's FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town on his laptop.

The German manager had indicated he would send a young team and under-23 coach Neil Critchley for the game.

It falls during the time when Liverpool are on a winter break from their Premier League duties.

And under-23 boss Critchley says that he may get messages from Klopp during the game.

"Jurgen sent through a message at half-time (against Villa in the Carabao Cup, when Liverpool's first team was at the Club World Cup), which I have to say was brilliant at that moment," Critchley told reporters.

"Even though we were going off the pitch thinking: 'We've played all right there but we're getting beat 4-0,' it creates that element of doubt in your mind about whether you are doing the right thing and if you need to do something different.

"So when you get a message from the manager saying: 'Don't change anything, carry on doing what you're doing, you've been brilliant,' it clears all that doubt in your mind and you can give that message to the players.

"The message killed every doubt and settled them right down. It helped everyone at that moment. I didn't have my phone on me but the message came through one of the staff. That option is available tomorrow but that's up to the manager."
