Liverpool to win it by the odd goal
This might be an outlandish take but we're backing Shrewsbury to keep things tight in this match hence the fact we are backing a draw with Liverpool at a minus one handicap. Shrewsbury going to Anfield is a huge occasion and they'll go their at full strength with nothing to lose; they also happen to be in decent form having taken 10 points from the last 12 available in League One. Liverpool meanwhile will be without several key players whilst others will likely be rested. They will still have enough in the tank to win the game but a canter it will not be.
We're not expecting loads of goals
Along with backing Shrewsbury to put in a decent performance we think that means this will be far from a crushing home win. Shrewsbury will travel to Liverpool looking to keep the Reds quiet and without those truly stellar names in the lineup to unlock the doors it could be a tougher than anticipated afternoon for the home side. Shrewsbury are no mugs defensively either; they've kept three clean sheets on the spin heading into this match.
