If that stalemate against West Brom wasn’t enough to make things frustrated for Liverpool fans, the result at Goodison Park on Sunday night was enough to add salt on their already scathing wounds. While they have been below par for the most of this season, the Reds, courtesy of their latest stalemate, have squandered a real chance of coming back in the race for the top 4. However, as they say it isn’t over till it’s over, the Reds will travel to Hull City on Tuesday to make that final push for a berth in the top 4.
Looking at the position of their hosts in the Premier League table, the Reds are going into this fixture as the favorites. Against a team that has nearly conceded a half-century of goals in 33 matches, the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling will definitely look to exploit the weaknesses of Hull City.
Steven Gerrard has scored 4 goals in 6 Premier League appearances against Hull City.
Looking at the home form of Hull City in the Premier League, the tigers have won just 16 points from available 45 at home this season. Thus, when it comes to home form, Steve Bruce’s men are ranked 2nd worst in the League. And with Liverpool enjoying 5 clean-sheets in their last 6 matches at away turf, the odds are definitely favoring the men in red to clinch all 3-points.
Coming into this match, Simon Mignolet is the leading clean-sheet holder in the Premier League with 13-shutouts to his name.
Taking a look at the team of Liverpool and there is little good news for the Reds. With Daniel Sturridge ruled out for the season as confirmed by Brendan Rodgers, the Reds might start this fixture with Raheem Sterling up-front. Both Jose Enrique and Jon Flanagan are still out which means there could only be 1 or 2 changes from the squad that drew against West Brom at the weekend.
Here is how Liverpool are expected to lineup against Hull City: –
