Gameweek 34 continues apace with Hull City playing host to Liverpool in a 7.45pm kick off. The Tigers look to build momentum after a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace marked their first win in seven matches. Meanwhile, the Reds arrive at the KC Stadium off the back of a 0-0 stalemate against West Bromwich Albion, searching for only their second win in five outings.
Hull boss Steve Bruce will hope for a repeat performance of the Eagles clash, in which they fashioned the second-most shots on target (seven) of any side so far this Gameweek. Senegalese frontman Dame N’Doye remains the Tigers’ principal goal threat after netting twice at Selhurst Park, while Robbie Brady – who engineered the second most chances (five) among all midfielders on the weekend – keeps his place on the left as Steve Bruce names an unchanged XI.
Raheem Sterling’s abundance of owners will want more from the Jamaican-born wide man after he failed to register a single shot at The Hawthorns. Philippe Coutinho, on the other hand, mustered nine efforts on goal against the Baggies but has now failed to find the net in his previous six league starts. With two assists and four goals in seven appearances, Jordan Henderson is the form man for the Merseysiders and his prospects will be boosted by the absence of Steven Gerrard this evening. The Reds skipper drops out in the visitors’ only change as Brendan Rodgers hands Mario Balotelli another start up front.
