Phil Brown hopes Liverpool Football Club suffer an off-day on Saturday afternoon.

The Hull City manager is coming under increasing pressure due to a poor start to the new season, and he accepts a trip to Anfield is hardly the best placed to turn things around.

“It is important we perform well and give a good account of ourselves," said Brown. "I think the 3,000 travelling fans will accept that. I expect the players to perform well.

“But I understand with the quality Liverpool have got we probably have to catch them on an off-day. It will be a very tough game. I can't expect any favours from Liverpool.”
