FA Cup Fifth Round Draw: Chelsea Awaits Liverpool As Rooney Might Face Old Club United (See Full Fixtures)

Premier League leaders Liverpool will confront Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round if the Reds win their replay against Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury, a third-tier side, fought back to draw 2-2 with Jurgen Klopp’s “kids” on Sunday to earn a replay at Anfield.

But Klopp insists he will not use his senior players for that match because he does not want to deny them a much-needed rest.

Meanwhile, FA Cup holders Manchester City have been drawn to face second-tier Sheffield Wednesday, while Manchester United will visit the winners of the replay between Northampton and Derby.
