Manager Phil Brown believes this could be the right time to play Liverpool. Liverpool let 2 points slip at home to Arsenal on Tuesday and more dropped points this weekend could spell the end of any realistic title hopes. Both sets of players will be under a huge amount of pressure as both sides desperately need 3 points

Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "We're in a vein of form where we need to arrest the situation as soon as possible and what better time than at a packed KC Stadium against one of the best teams in the world.

"We've had situations thrown at us in the last two years that would suggest Hull City versus Liverpool will be a one-sided affair.

"But we have our own thoughts about that. I've always said if we bring our best to the table and we are as organised as we can be, we can give anyone a game at this level."

He added: "We're very, very close to being a Premier League team for a second year running and that would be a great achievement.

"The number of points we will need from the last five games, nobody knows yet.

"We're better off than four other managers and four other teams and as long as that remains that way, we'll be happy."

Brown is also still hopeful Daniel Cousin will be fir enough for the Liverpool clash.

"He trained yesterday (Tuesday) and hopefully he will train all week to play his part in the most important five games of the season," added Brown.

"Fingers crossed, he will be able to start against Liverpool if called upon."
