The two sides drew 2-2 earlier this season at Anfield, at a time when the Tigers were riding high in the league.

However, with only one win in their last seventeen league matches, Hull are now only in the safety zone by three points and are in serious danger of being relegated at the end of the season.

After their dramatic draw with Arsenal on Tuesday, Liverpool's title hopes are now looking very bleak with Manchester United three points clear with a match still in hand. The Reds must win in order to keep up any remaining pressure on the Red Devils and will be keen to post a convincing victory at KC Stadium.

Holding the worst home record in the league and currently in poor form, Hull don't look as if they will pose too much of a threat, and Liverpool will go into this match as heavy favourites for the win.
