Hundreds of fans will be at Anfield, external this evening - and, no, they haven't got the wrong venue.

While their team are playing 200km away in Hull, some Liverpool supporters will be boycotting the KC Stadium protesting at their own ground.

The Spirit of Shankly supporters union has organised the event as part of an ongoing campaign against the cost of watching top-flight football.

Tickets for the match at the KC Stadium are £50, with a £2 reduction by Liverpool as part of the Premier League's away fans initiative.

Mario Balotelli steps up to a free-kick 25 yards out but his curling effort is deflected wide for a corner. The following delivery comes to nothing.

A cross from the left flank leaves Wes Foderingham in Swindon's goal stranded and Jacob Murphy is on hand to tap in from close range.

A big goal. Remember a win for Colchester would move them out of the League One relegation zone at the expense of Notts County.

An early break from Hull as Jake Livermore bursts into the Liverpool box, chasing a hopeful punt. Nothing comes of it as he falls over. Positive start though.

Now Mario Balotelli waves him arms towards Tom Huddlestone after being downed.

Hull City XI: Harper, Chester, Huddlestone, Brady, Livermore, McShane, Dawson, Aluko, Elmohamady, N'Doye, Quinn.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Johnson, Allen, Henderson, Ibe, Sterling, Coutinho, Balotelli.

Game on. A huge game at both ends of the table.

"I watched Divock Origi a few times in the Europa League. He looks a deal short of being the full package yet. He definitely has ability, is quick but looks like he needs another year before he is top Premier League standard."

Liverpool own Origi and loaned him immediately back to Lille upon his signing. He is expected to begin his career at Anfield at the end of this season.

'The Eye of the Tiger" blares out of the tannoy system as the two teams emerge on the pitch. I see what they've done there.

The Hull fans seem up for this one.

If any extra motivation was needed for Hull's players in the next few weeks - this will probably do the trick.

Relegation would mean wage cuts of up to 50% for the squad, according to boss Steve Bruce.

Time to trade those sports cars in lads? The teams are in the tunnel.

Even the dogs in Hull support their local team...What? You've never seen a canine in a replica kit before? It's all the rage in dog world.

I just hope Steve Bruce's men are in top form this evening for their sake. Or else they are in for dog's abuse...

What is the biggest turn up in the top-flight in the last 25 years?

Leo Howard: Mention Eibar and Sassuolo in Spain and Italy respectively for top flight turn ups. Eibar is particularly remarkable, with their scenic stadium half the size of Bournemouth's!

Tommy Mulligan: Southampton this season have been one of the biggest surprises, sold half their team and are stronger when most expected them to be in or near the bottom.

Kevin Fraser: Kenny Dalglish and his Blackburn premier winning team never get the recognition it deserves.

If the Tigers do stay up this season, they will have a lot to thank their January transfer from Senegal for.

The 30-year-old striker Dame N'Doye, signed from Lokomotiv Moscow on the final day of the transfer window, has scored five goals in eight matches.

That includes a brace in Saturday's crucial win over Crystal Palace.

Hull gave their survival hopes a timely boost on Saturday with a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.

The win kept them above the drop zone but their run-in doesn't exactly do them many favours.

After tonight's visit of Liverpool, they face Arsenal (home), Tottenham (away) and Manchester United (home) - as well as a home match against Burnley.

They may have to do this the hard way.

Bayern Munich are just kicking off their German Cup semi-final against Borussia Dortmund and you can follow all the action here.

Meanwhile Xavi makes it 4-0 for Barcelona against Getafe, just past the half hour mark. Live text here.

John of Sheffield: Pat Nevin (19:08) is wrong about LFC fans always wanting Gerrard to play. Sadly his recent performances have confirmed he can no longer play at this level. He's right to be moving to a slower paced league to prolong his career.

Graeme Souness, Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers have all been tasked with winning title number 19 for Liverpool but it has eluded them all.

Rodgers though is not lacking confidence and, when asked if he could end their drought, he told the Liverpool Echo "absolutely"., external

The former Swansea man has also said recently, "The message for me, is clear. I don't think there would be anyone better to do the job here."

Time to walk the walk Brendan.
