Comments:

This tie was played during the Premier League's first-ever winter break. With the senior squad rested, Under-23s coach Neil Critchley was placed in charge of this youthful team. Manager Jürgen Klopp chose not to attend the game. With an average age of 19 years and 102 days, this became Liverpool's youngest-ever starting line-up in all competitions. The previous record had stood for less than two months; 19 years and 182 days in the League Cup 5th round tie at Aston Villa on 17 December 2019. Aged 19 years and five days, Curtis Jones became the Reds' youngest-ever captain in a senior game. The previous record had been held since 1 September 1900 by Alex Raisbeck in a League Division One game against Blackburn Rovers (aged 20 years and 250 days). [c/o Ged Rea] Liverpool's goal was an own goal by Ro-Shaun Williams after 75 minutes.

Comments:

Shaun Whalley scored after 58 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
