Hull City will be looking to get at most as they can when they face Liverpool on Tuesday night as they are just one point clear of the relegation zone. For the Reds it's a game that could give them some hope if they win it, the three points would take them to just four lengths behind fourth-placed Manchester United. Hull have beaten Liverpool in the Premier league just once, in December 2013. This season's reverse match ended goalless.
Hull City recorded a massive victory last weekend, 2-0 at Crystal Palace, ending a terrible run of just two points in the previous six games. That was just the fourth win for Hull in 2015 but they are not safe yet. Moreover, they will have to face big sides like Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham before the end of the season. They have managed to take points off Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool already this term though. Curtis Davies, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Diame are all doubtful for the match.
Liverpool have been struggling lately, especially since the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United in March. They got beaten by Arsenal after that and also got knocked out in the FA Cup semi-finals by underdogs Aston Villa. Brendan Rodgers' job might be in danger if the Reds fail to qualify for the Champions League. Last time out they were held to a goalless draw by West Bromwich Albion. Striker Daniel Sturridge is out for the rest of the season, so Mario Balotelli should retain his place in the starting line up.
Probable line-ups:
Hull City: Harper - Brady, McShane, Dawson, Chester - Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Meyler, Aluko - N'Doye
Liverpool: Mignolet - Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Can - Ibe, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho - Balotelli
My prediction: 2-2 draw.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Hull win - 4.33 Draw - 3.60 Liverpool win - 1.95

Liverpool is not team for Champions League. I realize that not after this lost of Hull but after I saw that Arsenal won very very easy against this same team on same stadium. That is difference between Liverpool and other top teams which are fighting for Champions League. Liverpool must be satisfied with Europa League,...
Liverpool is not team for Champions League. I realize that not after this lost of Hull but after I saw that Arsenal won very very easy against this same team on same stadium. That is difference between Liverpool and other top teams which are fighting for Champions League. Liverpool must be satisfied with Europa League, it is shame for club with their history but now that is reality for them.

Liverpool plays disappointing lately. This is not a team that can win away from home and that's their biggest problem. They have a lot of young, quality players, but they have not a superior player who led them to victory in these matches. Last year it was Suarez, this year I expected from Sturridge but his injuries didn't...

Hull City have to throw everything they've got in this if they want to take something from the game. Obviously every point is priceless in the end of the season. The relegation battle will be fierce till the end and Hull are one of the most threatened teams, the upset is possible in this game I think.

If Liverpool want to have chances to qualify for Champions League for next season they must win tonight against Hull City. But even if they win, they will have four points less than Manchester United and it will be hard to cut United's lead.

If Liverpool want to have chances to qualify for Champions League for next season they must win tonight against Hull City. But even if they win, they will have four points less than Manchester United and it will be hard to cut United's lead. Anyway, Liverpool must win because they have same points as Tottenham and only one more than Southampton, and their place in Europa League for next season is not assured. It will be tough match,but I think that Liverpool will win.

Liverpool don't have a lot of chances to qualify for champions league. They have four teams in front of them and all four have more quality and all four are better than Liverpool. (Chelsea, City, United and Arsenal) So this match will be chances for Hull to get some points and stay clear of relegation. For me on this match...

This will be hard match for Liverpool but I think that they can beat Hull. I know that Liverpool don't have great result in last month but this match is opportunity to get three points and get back in that race for champions league. Liverpool is great club with big history and it will be shame if they don't qualify for...
