Coin Toss Could Decide If Curtis Jones Becomes Liverpool's Youngest Captain

Curtis Jones could become the youngest captain in Liverpool's history in Tuesday's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town, but only if a coin toss goes in his favour.

Liverpool will field a young side at Anfield against the Shrews, and under-23 coach Neil Critchley will be in the dugout in place of Jurgen Klopp because the first-team players and staff are on their winter break.

The Reds had the same situation in December, when Critchley led a youthful side to a 5-0 loss in the Carabao Cup to Aston Villa while Klopp and the senior side were at the FIFA Club World Cup.
