Liverpool have been drawn away to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, should they get past Shrewsbury Town in round four.
The Reds could only draw 2-2 at the League One outfit on Sunday evening, having led 2-0 shortly after half-time.
Shrewsbury produced a spirited fightback, however, with Liverpool not helping themselves with some sloppy defending, particularly from returning pair Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will now have to get past their lowly opponents in the replay at Anfield on February 4th, if they are to make it into the last-16.
They will also have to do it without their manager in the dugout, as well as the entire senior squad.
Should Liverpool see off Shrewsbury, Chelsea will be their next opponents in early March, with a tricky trip to Stamford Bridge to look forward to.
Klopp’s side did win 2-1 in west London in the Premier League back in September, though.
These Reds supporters reacted to the draw on Twitter, producing a mix of responses.

That draw means we don’t have to feel any guilt about the Shrewsbury “payday”. £5 in for the replay
