Liverpool desperately need a result away at an improving Hull City side on Saturday.
Hull City earned an impressive point away at Manchester United on Wednesday evening.
Eldin Jakupovic was superb for the visitors as they continued to improve under new manager Marco Silva.
Liverpool’s poor start to 2017 continued as they drew 1-1 with the league leaders Chelsea.
It could have been worse for the Reds though, with Diego Costa missing a late spot kick.
