Preview

Here's what Reds manager Jurgen Klopp had to say about his team and the upcoming clash:

Liverpool's last outingthe 1-1 draw against leaders Chelsea on Tuesdaywas cause for optimism, something that's sorely needed at Anfield right now. AFCON hit the Reds hard, and in Mane's absence, the team suffered one disappointing result after another.

Entering Week 24, the gap behind Chelsea is 10 points, and the battle for a top-four finish and a UEFA Champions League ticket remains wide open. Beating Hull, who seem prime candidates for relegation, is a must at this point.

That might be easier said than done, however. Under new manager Marco Silva, who took control of the team in January, the Tigers have improved, and they sit four points behind Swansea City and safety in the standings.

Sportswriter Liam Canning has been impressed:

Eldin Jakupovic is one of the busiest and most underrated goalkeepers in the league, and on-loan Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia could make his first start. Both will likely be busy, as Liverpool will throw all of their attacking power at the hosts.

Expect the likes of Mane and Philippe Coutinho to see much of the ball and give the Tigers fits with their movement. If Klopp's troops keep the pace high, the Reds should win.

Prediction: Hull City 1-3 Liverpool
