From Steve Biggins to Ben Godfrey and plenty in between – enjoy the views of a number of familiar faces.

Pete Wilding - 1-1

So many people have great memories of the FA Cup. This is another wonderful occasion for all connected. Liverpool maybe young-ish again which would give Shrewsbury every opportunity of an upset. A 1-1 is the chairman's dream!

Dean Spink - 2-1 to Shrewsbury

Good luck to Shrewsbury Town!

Steve Biggins - 1-1

Fingers crossed for a 1-1 draw which would be very nice and financially rewarding!

Lionel Ainsworth - 3-1 to Liverpool

I follow Liverpool and with the way they're playing at the moment there's only one winner but Shrewsbury have a good history in the Cup and I'm sure they'll put up a good fight. You just never know. Most importantly enjoy yourselves.

Jack Grimmer - 2-1 to Liverpool

I'm hoping Shrews can make it difficult for them as big a task as that is! Put them under pressure but they'll squeeze a 2-1 win. Shrewsbury have their annual big Cup draw!

Joe Jacobson - 1-1

I think Liverpool will make a lot of changes and that means Shrewsbury will earn the replay.

Kelvin Langmead - 3-0 to Liverpool

My heart would love to go with a Shrewsbury win but my head says Liverpool for obvious reasons, but I wish the mighty Salop all the best. A great occasion for the club and I know one the players will dream of winning!

Mat Sadler - 1-1

I'm going for a score draw to earn the club a replay. Good luck and enjoy every moment. Continue to do the town proud.

Sam Aiston - 2-1 to Liverpool

I hope everyone involved with Shrewsbury enjoys the day.

Gary Hackett - 2-1 to Liverpool

Really hope the Shrews can create a major Cup shock! Best of luck!

Steve Cross - 1-1

I'm gutted to be missing the game as I'm away after watching us get through against Bristol City at the Meadow. Sending my best wishes to Sam and the team, I hope Klopp is kind to us with his team selection. I predict a replay at Anfield.

Ben Godfrey - 1-0 to Shrewsbury

It's a massive occasion for Shrewsbury Town Football Club. This is why the FA Cup is great! Something tells me it'll be a late goal to decide the game either way. It'll be tight and the Meadow isn't an easy place to go. All the best lads!

Nigel Jemson - 3-0 to Liverpool

I'm a Liverpool fan and it's great to see them top of the league. It's a fantastic game for Shrewsbury. It'll be a similar team that beat Everton but I still can't see past an away win. It's fantastic on the finance side of things and always helps lower league clubs. I'll be watching.

Ian Atkins - 3-0 to Liverpool

I would love to see Shrewsbury get a goal but I think Liverpool will be too strong. But you never know, there's always that one chance. You'd think Liverpool would win 999 times out of 1,000 but you never know. Good luck Town and give a good account of yourselves regardless of the score.

Jermaine Grandison - 1-0 to Shrewsbury

I wish the Shrews all the best for the game and I'm hoping Shrewsbury can surprise everyone and score first and hold out for a 1-0 win.
