The Reds moved 22 points clear at the top of the Premier League after putting four goals past Southampton at Anfield.
Despite not getting on the scoresheet himself, Roberto Firmino scooped the Man of the Match award that afternoon for laying on three exquisite assists.
As the senior squad then observed their Premier League mid-season break, Neil Critchley took charge of a youthful side for the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town.
With the starting XI's average age 19 years and 102 days, Critchley fielded the youngest team in the club's history for the encounter.
