Although Liverpool has an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 home games against Hull City in history, Liverpool has been at a disadvantage with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in the past 6 meetings between the two sides, and has only scored three goals in 6 games.

Historical records can only be used as a reference, seriously you will lose, from the recent period, Liverpool is singing all the way, not only won the last three games, but also the ratio of goals scored and conceded is 9:2, the Reds have taken away three points from Chelsea and Arsenal's home stadium, and also took away one point in White Hart Lane.

Despite a shock second-round defeat to promoted Burnley, Jurgen Klopp's start to the season has been impressive.

Hull City since the arrival of the bull boss, can be called the tiger possessed, with a wave of four consecutive wins to start strongly, although the last round of the Premier League home loss to Arsenal, but the game process showed that the two sides won or lost, and even if it is not unlucky, Hull City has a chance to equalize.

In terms of injuries and suspensions in the line-ups of both sides, Liverpool basically have a full lineup except for Mamadou Sako who cannot play for other reasons.

In addition to those old sick numbers, Hull City is also in a full lineup when Zhu Zeming is suspended due to a red card.

So both sides can field the strongest lineup, the home team Liverpool is in a 4-3-3 formation, and the starting lineup is:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Loris Karius

After the players came on the field, when they shook hands with each other, Niu Shuai walked out of the passage, Jurgen Klopp's eyes flashed, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand and smiled: "I hope to see a good game today." ”

The corners of Niu Shuai's mouth curled slightly, he reached out and shook it and let go, shook it lightly, and walked to the coach's seat.

"As you wish."

Klopp was stunned and chuckled: "Interesting Chinese people." ”

A breeze blew, the weather cleared, and after Andre Marriner's whistle, Liverpool, who kicked off, began to pass the ball back.

As always, Niu Shuai stood on the sidelines and said to Mike Ferran beside him: "How do you think we can defeat this formidable opponent?" ”

Phelan frowned slightly, watching Hull City launch a high-pressing tactic to press in the front court after kick-off, and said: "Klopp's tactical style is very distinct, it is an offensive football based on high-pressing tactics, which gives people the impression that the attack is fierce and there are a lot of goals, but I don't know very well about the defense. ”

Niu Shuai said lightly: "Klopp is not very good at building a defensive system, so you have a good analysis of his tactics." He has an average eye for centre-back, with Hummels and Subotic already in the squad at Borussia Dortmund, so Jurgen Klopp can concentrate on building his attacking system. ”

Hull City's high-pressing tactics after the opening forced Liverpool to send the ball away from the backfield, Hull City slowed down the pace after getting the ball, and the whole team retreated, and Liverpool immediately exerted high pressure after losing the ball, Hull City captain Schweinsteiger retreated very deeply, and even stood parallel to the two central defenders, under his scheduling, Liverpool couldn't grab the ball for a while.

Klopp, who was also standing on the sidelines, looked at Niu Shuai and said secretly: "That Huaxia defender is not there, and Schwein will go to the back line, this is to replace the Huaxia defender as the point of exit of the back line, and use his passing to resolve my high pressing tactics?" This Niu Shuai is really not simple. ”

"After learning about the Premier League last year, Klopp is familiar with the Premier League style, this season he has more control over the team, in the attacking system, he is really very good, can win Arsenal and Chelsea away, and the recent three consecutive wins, in addition to his offensive achievements, the strength of the players in the midfield of this team, can definitely rank in the top three of the Premier League, but in my eyes, his team, there is a weakness."

Phelran's eyes lit up, remembering Klopp's style, and couldn't help blurting out: "Defense? ”

After Schweinsteiger dropped back to the backline, Van Persie, who played as a midfielder, dropped to the number four position and joined Flamini as the German's point of contact to ensure that the ball remained at the feet of Hull City.

Klopp's eyes lit up, the video of this period of time was not in vain, in the last few Hull City games, Schweinsteiger, Van Persie, and the Chinese man named Zhu Zeming, as long as they are not injured and do not play, will definitely start.

Don't look at Klopp's beard, he looks like a big old man, with a rough personality, easily excited, but in fact he is a smart person with a careful heart.

Watching Hull City's game footage every day, he found that as long as these three people started at the same time, Hull City played beautifully, attacking like mercury, defending solidly, and the rhythm was very smooth.

Through the personal data statistics of the three people, Klopp vaguely knew Niu Shuai's tactical intentions.

On the surface, captain Schweinsteiger is the heart of the team, because he plays the No. 4 position, which is the pivot of offensive and defensive transitions, and if someone is sent to target him, it will kill the tiger.

But Hull City also has Zhu Zeming and Van Persie, Zhu Zeming has a long pass stunt that is as accurate as navigation, Van Persie is getting older and more demonic, needless to say, his vision and overall situation can make him competent for the No. 4 and No. 8 positions, so that Hull City actually has three points, and it is one in the front, middle and back three lines, which just form a central axis.

In addition to the goalkeeper who cannot come out of the penalty area, the number of people who can actually send people to stare at the opponent's core players can only be one at most, and if there are more, it will disrupt the team's tactical tasks.

Klopp couldn't help but let out a breath as Van Persie controlled the ball to attract a Liverpool player to scramble, and then suddenly passed to Schweinsteiger, who quickly played a long ball and Mitrovic's header was crossed, and Gnabry missed a good chance for a one-on-one goal because of offside.

Zhu Zeming was suspended, he should be happy, right?
