Match preview ahead of tonight’s fixtures. I’ll be looking out for whether Mavinga and Amoo can play at the same level as they showed in the last match and whether Saric can build on his goal scoring exploits. And will Eccleston’s contract rumours have an affect on his performance?

Liverpool beat Hull City 4-1 in their most convincing display of the season – although high-flying Hull didn’t provide much opposition. They were out-classed all over the pitch. The reds are now 6 points clear at the top of the league.

Pacheco was excellent although David Amoo was probably the most improved player. A goal for Nikola Saric will have helped him immensely.
