Liverpool predicted XI vs Hull: No let downs, please
By Tom Bogert
Liverpool host Hull City in the club’s second game at Anfield, angling to not have another let down like they did against Burnley.
Before we all go assuming that Liverpool’s form, three wins in their last three, outscoring opponents 9-2 including a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, will lead to an easy win against Hull City, let’s all remember who we’re here to support: Liverpool.
Oh, that’s right, they were looking good through preseason then beat Arsenal 4-3 at The Emirates earlier this season directly followed by… a 2-0 loss to Burnley.
Potentially with expectations tampered just a little bit we shouldn’t look past Hull City, who’re punching well above their weight. With their offseason turmoil, it’d have been ludicrous to assume they’d be in every game they’ve participated in, let alone anywhere off the bottom of the table.
They beat Leicester City on opening day then went on the road and beat Swansea City. They hung with Manchester United, drew Burnley (better than Liverpool) and hung around against Arsenal before the London club pulled away at the end.
Liverpool won’t have an easy game at Anfield, but here’s how they should lineup to hopefully bring back all three points.
GK Loris Karius
After our sweet prince made his debut against Derby in which he kept a clean sheet (don’t sweat the minor details like not really being tested at all), he’s ready for Premier League action.
To hand him his debut away to Chelsea would’ve been doing him no favors, but at home to Hull City? A bit more manageable, that.
It’ll be tough on Simon Mignolet if Karius starts, but this is a transition that’s happening sooner rather than later.
