Liverpool vs Hull City, 3pm, not on UK/Irish TV

5starpool

Lorius Karius will make his first start for Liverpool in the league replacing Simon Mignolet. Daniel Sturridge to play or not is the only real decision Klopp has to make apart from the goalkeeping one that is already made it seems. I reckon the starting team will be:

---

Karius

---

Clyne

---

Matip

---

Lovren

---

Milner

---

Henderson

---

---

Lallana

---

Wijnaldum

---

----Mane

---

Firmino

---

Coutinho----

Hull have Mike Phelan newly appointed as full time manager having had a decent start as caretaker, so will be hoping to derail a confident Liverpool, and anything can happen when Liverpool play, so this is no gimme.

Should still be a home win, I'll go for a somewhat optimistic 3-0 (clean sheet definitely optimistic).

Agent Coulson

Alright brothers is the main man Firmino fit and ready to rumble today?

I hope so.

cj maxx

Predict 4-0:)

Mignolet being dropped the big story of the day

I would like to see sturridge getting some game time today and hopefully chip in with a goal or two. Hopefully we will score a few goals early enough to make it a less tense game to watch. A good performance and a comfortable win is what is expected but we all know we have a bad habit of slipping up in a game like this.

I thought it was Swansea V Man City on Sky Sports 5 at 3pm thats not on UK TV?

Bret Hart

Comfortable 3-0 Liverpool win.

I've edited the title.

It'll be available in less than legal places, but I'm sure there will be one or two among us who manage to get around this.

The internet is saying that Klavan starting ahead of Lovren. If true is must be an injury unless it is just game time for Klavan or something.

I'd like a win don't care if it's ugly or by 4. If Origi or Sturridge play I'd like them to pick up a league goal tho.

1 Karius
2 Clyne
32 Matip
17 Klavan
7 Milner
14 Henderson

Confirmed #LFC substitutes for today's clash with @HullCity: Mignolet, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Grujic, Origi, Sturridge

Viral infection for Lovren it seems.

Hull substitutes: Jakupovic, Maguire, Meyler, Maloney, Mbokani, Keane, Henriksen

Harry Palmr

No shocks really, never thought Sturridge would start this one.

Agent Coulson

Good to see the main man Firmino overcome his injury and return to the starting 11.

BorneTobyWilde

I thought Sturridge would start.

NukaCola

Sturridge being managed correctly.

Potential Underachiever

Shame about Lovren, really want him and Matip getting a run of games together.

Probably will only miss this game though hopefully....

I can't handle these 10 in the morning kick offs after a night of drinking.

Move to Russia instead of Canada. Better timezone for football.

Yeh hopefully, just a bit stop start with Matip only coming into the side lately and Lovren missed one recently with the black eye.

Jaysus no I'm only training over here for few weeks. It's hard to adjust to all the football being over at half 2 in the day

5starpool

Excellent rivers available.

He started on Tuesday iirc.

Good thing we have Mane playing, breaks up the #10 fest a tad.

Well you wouldn't like Australia or New Zealand then would you!

garra

Firmino to play his striker role from a False 9 starting position again today

An early goal would be really nice......

Agreed

Hull were 15/1 to win this at one stage

Madness.

Pity this isn't on. Could have been a better game to watch than the city match.

C'mon you redmen!

Is it even on stream?

Ah I'm sure there is but the city game is on Sky and I'm lazy when it's not United playing. That said Quinn is commentating on the city game and I think one of the few things we and Liverpool fans can agree on is that's he's a pain in the face to listen to to.

BorneTobyWilde

Can see us going a goal up if we score first.

Osmosis Jones

Milner's been watching the Brazilians

5starpool

Decent start. Matip should have done a bit better with the header from the corner.

Insightful stuff!

Harry Palmr

Huddlestone on an early yellow

niallo27

He left the boot in there. Dirty challenge. He knew what he was doing

BorneTobyWilde

What kinda shot was that 5 feet out of an empty net

5starpool

What was that by Coutinho?

niallo27

Some period of pressure

BorneTobyWilde

I see a pattern emerging .

5starpool

Hull City sucker punch incoming.

Agent Coulson

Awful miss from Coutinho

5starpool

Handball surely there.

5starpool

Yessssssss
