Jurgen Klopp won't be the only one not turning up at Liverpool versus Shrewsbury – neither will the TV cameras.
Sportsmail understands plans to hold the fixture on Wednesday rather than Tuesday have fallen through.
The BBC are showing the Newcastle versus Oxford United FA Cup replay that night and an attempt by BT Sport to show the Anfield clash at the same time is understood to have been unsuccessful. Instead, they will screen the Spurs against Southampton rematch.
Following Sunday’s 2-2 draw at the New Meadow Klopp controversially said none of his first-team squad would be involved in next week's game, which comes in the middle of the first week of Liverpool's winter break. He also said that he would not be present at the game.
