A look ahead to the weekend's fixture at the KC Stadium

High flying Liverpool are just four points behind Arsenal in second place and are coming into this game on the back of a pulsating Merseyside derby last weekend.

That game ended in a 3-3 draw but manager Brendan Rogers will be hoping for all three points on Sunday against Steve Bruce's Hull side.

Liverpool have been in fine form this season and should be far too strong for Hull who lost against Championship destined Crystal Palace last time out.

Luis Suarez is the obvious danger man for the reds; the Uruguayan is second on the Premier League’s goal scoring list this season with nine goals, one behind Sergio Aguero.

Hull have never gotten the better of their more illustrious opponents in 16 games between the two sides. And that statistic doesn't look like changing any time soon, as the Tigers are only four points above the relegation zone and are two games without a win.

Robert Brady will be the main goal-threat for the home side on Sunday. The Republic of Ireland international will be looking to add to his three goals this season.
