This is the last game of the season for Hull City & Liverpool but in reality both their seasons finished long ago & after what has been a disastrous season for both, it’s impossible for us to expect too much from this game.
Hull City were finally officially relegated on monday following their 2-2 draw with Wigan but in effect their relegation looked certain from christmas time onwards as they have lacked the necessary quality & consistency to stay in the Premier League.

Commitment & effort has never been lacking & indeed Ian Dowie has done his limited best to keep that going but that is the only real quality Hull City have and while they will be committed to do well in this game, whether they can conjure up a result is doubtful.

Liverpool’s season has been equally as disastrous as Hull City & although they obviously don’t face relegation, the tepid performances in all competitions, the obvious lack of quality within the squad & all the off field problems all combined to make the 2009/10 season one to erase from memory with immediate effect.

In terms of this match, then it really is impossible to know what to expect from Liverpool because they have been way too inconsistent to have any great confidence in their mental approach but in terms of quality then they are far superior to Hull City and that should be good enough on the day to make the difference.

Ian Dowie will want the Hull City players to give one last Premier League performance for the Hull City fans & will hope for a committed performance from his players & that should make the game competitive making a scoring draw a possibility but Liverpool have more quality & should have enough about them to make that count on the day & finish their nightmare season with a win.

NARRATIVE:

The only goal of the game in the 84th minute for Wigan won the inaugural Premier League game last season. Hull beat Wigan 2-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season after a goalless half time situation. All time league record: Wigan 5–Draws: 6–Hull: 4

Let’s be honest, a few ago this fixture looked like being a relegation winner takes all type battle but Wigan are now safe & Hull City are down so this really is a meaningless, low profile game that even the hardcore fans from both sides will find hard to get motivated for.
That is not being unfair to either side but just completely honest, there is nothing at stake & the chances this match will just be a complete non-event.

Hopefully the players of both sides show pride & commitment to give their fans some kind of payback for what has been a terrible season for both sides but we are not holding our breath on that happening.

Wigan produced an incredible last 10 minutes in their last home game & at least showed a level of quality & fight at West Ham to give their fans something so they definitely have the edge coming into this match against a Hull City side who really don’t deserve anything other than relegation, however harsh that sounds it is true.

There is unlikely to be too much interest in this match & certainly we are not expecting a footballing classic but what we are expecting is Wigan to finish their season at home on a high & they look worth a punt to inflict yet another defeat on Hull City.

An exhibition of quality, attacking football this won’t be but demonstration of commitment, effort & physical endeavour is what Birmingham City & Hull City are certain to offer here & that should make for fascinating viewing.
Birmingham City have had an absolutely tremendous season with a remarkable top 10 finish nearly secured & that has been largely based on their tremendous home record so we are expecting another confident, resolute Birmingham City home performance here.

Birmingham City have won 7 & drawn 8 of their 17 home Premier League matches with Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Chelsea & Arsenal all failing to win at St. Andrews & the fantastic Birmingham City fans will expect another home win in this one so the Birmingham City players have everything to play for.

Alex McCleish will not let the Birmingham City players rest until the final kick of the season has been completed & we expect him to have the Birmingham City completely up for this one & ready to respond positively to their 5-1 thrashing against Man City last weekend.

That heavy defeat against Man City was totally out of character for Birmingham City & they will certainly look to regain the incredibly solid defensive structure & organisation that has seen only 12 league goals conceded in 17 home matches this season.

After 3 minutes of last weeks match against Burnley, Ian Dowie must have felt like that anything was possible as Hull City were 1-0 up & looking strong to get a vital win but then that all dramatically fell away as Burnley produced a stunning comeback to thrash Hull City 4-1 & that defeat now looks to have been almost the final, fatal blow for Hull City.

Ian Dowie will be telling the Hull City players to believe they can survive & he will tell the media that Hull City can survive but that 4-1 thrashing at home by Burnley must have been an absolutely killer blow to take for the players & their confidence levels must now be completely smashed to pieces.

Hull City somehow have to travel to Birmingham City believing that they can bounce back from losing 4-1 at home & achieve at Birmingham City what Man United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool & Everton all failed to do & win at St. Andrews but if those supremely talented sides could not do it, how can Hull City possibly expect to do it & it just looks too tough for them.

This match will be about physical endeavour & team commitment as Birmingham City are hard to beat & want to give the home fans a win while Hull City have to give everything to try to win so it’s going to be a competitive battle & one which we think Birmingham City will prove too strong in & they look worth a bet to win this & make their impressive home record look even stronger.

A truly massive game that means everything to both Hull City & Burnley as their Premier League status hangs by a thread & this match really does represent last chance saloon for them both.
Now this match won’t be the ultimate, decisive fixture that determines whether Hull City & Burnley actually survive or get relegated but this fixture definitely represents the best chance both clubs have left of achieving 3 points so the metaphorical gloves will be off for this one.

When Ian Dowie took over as manager of Hull City, his obvious target was to achieve as many points as possible from all of the fixtures but he knew that home form would be the ultimate key to whether Hull City survived & we really do expect Ian Dowie to have Hull City completely fired up & motivated to win this.

To be fair to Hull City, their home form has been fairly solid & they have certainly made life difficult for just about every side who has turned up at the KC stadium this season & we expect them to have a real go at testing Burnley & exposing their defensive weaknesses here.

Hull City were very good in beating Fulham in their last home fixture & that should give them huge confidence to be positive, get amongst Burnley & really look to cause Burnley massive problems & they will certainly believe they can win this match.

Brian Laws must have wanted to earth to open up & swallow him last weekend as he witnessed his Burnley side completely & totally capitulate in disastrous fashion against Manchester City and the final scoreline of 6-1 to Man City really should have been 10-1 or even bigger Burnley were that bad.

There were absolutely no positives for Burnley to take from that pathetic, dis-organised & completely shambolic performance and it really is tough to see how Burnley can bounce back from that in such a huge pressure match as this one.

Burnley know that this is their last realistic chance to achieve any league points at all & they have to win this match but how will that be possible for a Burnley side who have only achieved 1 away point all season & conceded an average of 3 goals per away match.

The high pressure, desperate nature of this match does mean that anything is possible & mistakes are certainly likely to be a factor making it harder to predict but this represents Hull City’s big chance to themselves a survival life-line & We think they are worth a bet to get another massive home win.
