The last 1,700 went on general sale from 5pm this evening, and large queues appeared at Montgomery Waters Meadow as supporters clamoured to get their hands on a ticket to see Town at the home of the European champions.

It had been expected that the last few would go on general sale tomorrow morning, but the club opted to put them out early, prompting Salop fans to rush to the Meadow.

The club tweeted: "We have now SOLD-OUT of tickets for our @EmiratesFACup Fourth Round Replay with @LFC, email tickets@shrewsburytown.co.uk if you wish to be added to the waiting list."

It is the first time Shrewsbury will have visited Anfield, and there has been a huge appetite for tickets, despite the fact that Jurgen Klopp and his senior players are taking the night off due to the fixture landing in the winter break.

Shrewsbury earned a second crack at the Premier League leaders grabbing a 2-2 draw in the first encounter at Oteley Road thanks to Jason Cummings' double.

If Sam Ricketts' side emerge victorious against Neil Critchley's under 23s, they will have a trip to Chelsea to look forward to in the next round.
