It’s a big game for…

Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian is still working his way back to full fitness after a three-month injury layoff but Liverpool are desperate to get him back to top form in order to reverse their slump. On paper, Hull will be a perfect game for him to do that.

Remember when…

Liverpool thrashed Hull 5-1 in the reverse fixture this season, with James Milner scoring two penalties in the rout.

Player to watch…

Sadio Mane. Mane is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and has been desperately missed by Liverpool. His restoration to the first team will be a timely one as Roberto Firmino in particular has struggled without Mane.
