    I can't see us winning; with so many key players out its not going to be hard for Liverpool to cut into us. You never know how a game is going to turn out. Except in this case. 3-1 to them.

    I hope it's McShane, but expect it'll be Bruce

    Huddlestone will play tomorrow.

    He said in the prezzer he feels better then he did this time last week which I've interpreted that he'll start.

    City never do things the easy way. I would be less confident going into a game against a rocky Liverpool side with a fully fit team, then I am going into it using squad players looking to prove a point.

    I think bbc Blunderside have been had.

    Sky haven't listed Huddlestone as a doubt, and no disrespect intended to Blunderside, but... Blunderside... Sky...

    Unless you give us a couple of own goals you should be in for 3 points.

    Have any of you seen how badly we're playing? Especially in defence. Just knock balls into our box and you'll score <ok>

    2,800 travelling tomorrow.

    Unfortunately, I'm not one of them, I thought I was doing something else, then when I found out I could go, they only had those ridiculous 'severely restricted view' seats left.

    Huddlestone has said he is fine and feeling better than this time last week John. Hudds will play and even if Robbo does not make it then another Robbie gets a chance........The Brady one.


    Dont think the Tigers will get than many. 0 - 1 will do for me mind.


    Agreed and Hopefully yes.


    I wonder what team Liverpool will put out ? So many off form and lacking confidence. Mignolet looks trashed for starters. Pools entire backline just look poor in the air especially when defending set pieces.

    The FourFourTwo Preview: Liverpool vs Hull
    Premier League | Anfield | Sat 25 Oct | 3pm

    Billed as

    Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Shirts. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli. Mario Balotelli.

    The lowdown

    Shirt swapping is sick and wrong. Every one knows it. eBay? Total thievery. Charity shops? Scum. In fact, the only thing worse than swapping shirts with someone is doing it when the job&#8217;s only half done. Mario Balotelli is the ornery root of all evil. Fact.

    Or is he? When you sign Balotelli, you know exactly what you&#8217;re going to get. Dynamic off-the-ball movement won&#8217;t be near any such list.

    It shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise to Brendan Rodgers that his Italian forward has thus far failed at Anfield. It&#8217;s difficult to see where Liverpool&#8217;s strengths and Balotelli&#8217;s marry.

    He&#8217;s soon become the scapegoat, culminating with the half-time shirt swap with Pepe, to be &#8220;dealt with internally&#8221;. Ask yourself, if Steven Gerrard and Cristiano Ronaldo had exchanged sweaty garments, would the same fuss have been made?

    Balotelli, as always, is the easy fall guy. Maybe fingers should be pointed at the people who decided he was a better fit than Loic Remy or Wilfried Bony?

    Things must change for Liverpool, and soon. The QPR win was fortunate beyond belief, the lack of energy throughout the team of huge worry against a Hull side that could cause them real problems.

    Steve Bruce has reverted to a back three to accommodate Jake Livermore, Tom Huddlestone and new signing Mohamed Diame. The Senegalese in particular has been revitalised since his move from West Ham, scoring four in five appearances from his favoured central position.

    Throw in equally impressive frontman Abel Hernandez, and the Tigers have all the tools available to inflict yet more misery on Anfield after that Real Madrid mauling.

    Team news

    Daniel Sturridge&#8217;s latest injury does the Reds no favours in the striking department to ease the Balotelli problem. Mamadou Sakho remains unfit with a thigh strain (or a falling out with Rodgers, depending on what you want to believe). Jon Flanagan and Suso remain longer-term absentees.

    Michael Dawson, Steve Harper and Nikica Jelavic are all out for Hull after various injuries suffered against Arsenal, while Huddlestone and Andrew Robertson are "a concern" and could miss the Anfield clash. Allan McGregor&#8217;s shoulder injury keeps him out, so Eldin Jakupovic will remain in goal. Robert Snodgrass is injured for so long one wonders whether he would make a sound if he were to fall over at home.

    Key battle: Dejan Lovren vs Abel Hernandez

    It&#8217;s no secret that Liverpool&#8217;s defensive malaise is no short-term problem. Even during last season&#8217;s title tilt, they struggled for consistency but were bailed out by Sturridge and Luis Suarez. This summer they also sold Daniel Agger, their best defender.

    At £20 million, the Croatian Lovren didn&#8217;t come cheap. Signed to be Rodgers&#8217; leader at the back, the errors that marked his early career have returned. Hernandez, though largely ineffective against Arsenal, has the scent of goal about him. Give him a chance, the Uruguayan will take it. Lovren had better watch out.

    The managers

    At what point does Rodgers start to come under pressure, despite last season&#8217;s brilliance? The signings aren&#8217;t working, the excuses are in full flow and the football isn&#8217;t exactly good to watch. He hasn&#8217;t even had chance to say how &#8220;proud&#8221; he is of his players. Fresh from being snapped on the Tube on the way to Sam Allardyce&#8217;s 60th birthday party last weekend, Bruce has turned Hull&#8217;s mediocre early form around. Roles reversed at Anfield, then.

    Facts and figures

    Liverpool have scored 10 goals in 3 Premier League home games against Hull.
    Hull (along with Chelsea and Everton) are one of only 3 teams to score in every league game this season.
    Hull&#8217;s last 2 away games have ended 2-2. Only 2 teams in Premier League history have recorded 3 successive 2-2s away from home (Man United in 1994 and Newcastle in 2003).

    FourFourTwo prediction

    More Liverpool misery. 1-2.
