    "Brendan Rodgers says things sometimes which make me puzzled. To describe their performance at The Hawthorns as outstanding was puzzling. How was it?

    "You lose Luis Suarez, in particular his goals and then you have Sturridge not playing nowhere near enough. Look at the selection tonight, Balotelli. Goodness things are desperate if they are relying on that mis-fit Italian."

    Sorry to rub it in but, as you can see from the graphic above, Manchester United have been pretty prolific since Liverpool's last title win - 25 years ago today.

    Having said that, of the 20 teams in the top flight that season, there are eight not in the Premier League now.

    Luton are languishing in League Two, while a few others are in League One.

    It could be worse Reds...

  6. Staying up?published at 19:14 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Hull boss Steve Bruce: "Our home games will be critical - we have difficult opposition but we have got four games out of five at home. You get the vast majority of your points at home and it is imperative we start by picking up points tonight.

    "There are obviously going to be some twists and turns over the next few weeks."

    Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers on the absence of Steven Gerrard: "It is very clear, we've three games over the course of a week and we have given him an extra rest period to get him ready for the weekend. He has not travelled with the team.

    "This is our game in hand and hopefully we can take advantage of it. We will keep fighting to the very end."

  8. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 19:13 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Ulysses Salmon:, external Gerrard should play because of form only - and his form is excruciatingly poor at the moment. Right decision to miss the game.

  9. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 19:13 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Today marks 25 years since Liverpool last won a league title. Who would have thought that may happen in 1990? Less than 24 hours after Bournemouth completed their remarkable ascendency into the top flight, we want to know what you think is the biggest football turn up in 25 years?

    Carl Cluley:, external The biggest surprise of anyone winning the Premier League has to be Blackburn in the last quarter of century.

    If you were in any doubt as to the size of the task Bournemouth will have on their hands in the Premier League, take a look at these two graphics.

    It is going to be some challenge...

  11. Hornets are buzzingpublished at 19:10 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Bournemouth supporters are not the only one's celebrating - after Watford's place in the Premier League was secured at the weekend as well.

    It is estimated a place in the top flight will be worth £120m - so it is no wonder the Hornets celebrated like this when the news reached them on the team coach.

    Shows how much it means for Hull this evening.

    "I just chatted to some of the journos downstairs. They were suggesting Steven Gerrard had a couple of twinges. It may well be just that. If you push it too far, the hamstring or calf could go. Obviously every Liverpool supporter would rather him play but if you're taking a chance it's probably not worth it."

  14. One last hurrah for Klopp?published at 19:07 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Over in Bavaria it's 'Der Klassiker' as Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final of the German Cup, a 19:30 BST kick-off.

    Jurgen Klopp isn't saying goodbye just yet - he may be leaving his role as Dortmund manager at the end of the season but a win tonight would set up a glorious send-off in the final in Berlin on 30 May.

    After wrapping up the league title last weekend, Bayern are looking to emulate the achievement of Jupp Heynckes' side of 2013 and secure a treble of Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League titles.

    From Andrew: Huge game tonight, but for very different reasons and at opposite ends of the league table. Liverpool have to win to put pressure on Manchester United in the run-in and Hull have to win to stay above the drop zone given Leicester's recent resergence in form.

    Mario Balotelli has failed to score in all but one of his 15 Premier League appearances for the Reds despite attempting 59 shots.

    Maybe he discovered a shooting app on his smart phone as he entered the KC?

    Liverpool currently average 1.42 goals a game in the league. That is the worst ratio in the top six.

  18. No Gerrard for Liverpoolpublished at 19:00 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Breaking team news from the KC Stadium sees Liverpool do without Steven Gerrard for the night. He does not make the squad and Joe Allen's recall in his place is the Reds only change from their draw against West Brom on Saturday.

    Hull are unchanged from their win at Palace and can keep consecutive clean sheets for the first time since October 2013 in the Premier League with a shut out tonight.

    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.

  19. Colchester fight for survivalpublished at 18:57 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Colchester fans will be sitting a little nervously as well this evening.

    The U's go into their game in hand in League One second from bottom in the table, but just two points adrift of safety.

    They know a victory against Swindon - who are already guaranteed a place in the play-offs - and their fate will be in their hands on the final day of the season on Sunday.

    Fail to win and they need some favours. All the key action will be updated here as it happens.

    There is a huge match in the Championship this evening - this time at the other end of the table.

    Rotherham know a win at home to Reading and they are safe from the drop, despite having three points deducted for playing an unregistered player.

    Their safety would spell bad news for Wigan and Millwall, who would join Blackpool in League One next season

    A point for the Millers would send the Latics down but Millwall would go into the final day still with some hope. We will cover all the major action here as it happens.
