Liverpool host Hull City on new year’s day in an order to get their top four/title challenge back on track at Anfield on Wednesday. Steve Bruce’s men come into the game at the end of a majestic 6-0 win against Fulham at the KC stadium while Brendan Rodgers’ side who were at the zenith of the EPL table at Christmas suddenly find themselves out of the top four and Champions League places after two straight defeats in as many games against Manchester City and Chelsea.
The Reds have won eight of their last nine games at home soil and will be looking to keep building a fortress at Anfield as the season prolongs. Steve Bruce’s side shocked the Reds at the KC stadium earlier this season and would be looking to secure the double over the Giants from Merseyside. Can Brendan Rodgers’ men avoid the reversal for the third consecutive game in the running or will their fantastic start to the 2013-14 campaign fade into oblivion? We here at Soccersouls decided to present our readers with an in depth tactical analysis of Liverpool’s approach to their first game in the new year and what would their strongest eleven look like.
