Liverpool will be aiming to reduce
the gap between them and Manchester United, once they face Hull City
this April 29, 02:45 (GMT+8). The Reds may be seven points adrift of a
Champions League place but Brendan Rodgers is still eying the top 4th
spot.
"Manchester United have a clear advantage but we can only affect that by winning our games," he said.
"We need to do that starting at Hull. Man United play West Brom at the weekend and we've seen how difficult it is to play against Tony Pulis' team.
"We can only focus on ourselves. Last year showed that lots of changes can take place in the final five matches.
"We have a tough game away at Hull but the idea is to get the victory and apply as much pressure as we can to the teams above," Rodgers insisted.
Meanwhile
Hull City's recent away win to Crystal Palace gave them confidence of
keeping their Premier League hopes alive. They are sitting a point above
the relegation zone and a win against Liverpool would do them a lot of
good.
"I'm quietly confident, starting with Liverpool, we can get enough points at home to keep us up," Bruce said.
Hull
City will welcome back Mohamed Diame and Andy Robertson following their
return from injury. While Nikica Jelavic, Curtis Davies and Robert
Snodgrass are all still injured.
Liverpool will be without the service of Daniel Sturridge, Adam
Lallana (groin), Mamadou Sakho (thigh) and midfielder Lucas Leiva
(thigh).
