Liverpool vs. Hull City 2017 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch online

Liverpool have made a horrible start to the new year, with Jürgen Klopp's side having been dumped out of both domestic cups and failed to win a single league game since the start of 2017. For the first time, serious questions are being asked of their manager, who has so far proven unable to stop a worrying rot. Their draw with league leaders Chelsea in midweek saw them stay down in fourth place, though Manchesters United and City are both breathing down the Merseysiders' necks.

They'll be hoping to finally get back to winning ways on Saturday, when they travel to play relegation-threatened Hull City at the KCOM Stadium. Marco Silva's side managed a goalless draw away at Manchester United in midweek, though his side are still in the bottom three, four points adrift of safety. They've got a lot of work to do if they're to avoid dropping back into the second tier at the first time of asking.

1. Hull's struggles have been exacerbated by a lengthy list of absentees: Ryan Mason, Markus Henriksen, Moses Odubajo, and Curtis Davies are all those currently on the treatment table; Allan McGregor and Brian Lenihan are both in doubt. Lazar Marković is ineligible against his parent club, while Ahmed Elmohamady is away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

2. Liverpool will be without Danny Ings, Marko Grujić, and Ovie Ejaria, though Sadio Mané should make his first start since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. There were concerns that the Senegalese international had picked up a knee injury in the draw against Chelsea in midweek, but they were later downplayed by Klopp.

3. Liverpool romped to a 5-1 win over Hull City when they met in the reverse fixture back in September. However, the Tigers will take heart from the fact that Liverpool lost on their last visit to Humberside, with Michael Dawson scoring the only goal of the game as Brendan Rodgers' side succumbed to defeat in April 2015.
