Hull City: The view from the opposition

Windass will forever be fondly remembered by the Hull faithful after netting the dramatic winner in the 2008 Wembley play-off final against Bristol City to carry the Tigers into the top-flight.

The striker hit the back of the net on no less than 89 occasions over two spells at the club - and so he's perfectly placed to provide us with the view from within tonight's opposition camp.

Will you be watching the game tonight and how much are you looking forward to it?

I work at the club so I'll be on my way there. I've got John Aldridge as my guest, so it'll be a good game. Obviously after winning on Saturday the lads will be full of confidence.

Do you see it being a competitive game?

Both teams have got plenty to play for - for different reasons - and none more so than ourselves. But Liverpool are a good side. There's a lot of pressure on ourselves, because of the situation that we're in, but another win and a draw for us should be enough.

Did the weekend win at Crystal Palace settle a few nerves at the KC?

A win breeds confidence and if the lads had lost on Saturday then the pressure mounts, so it's taken some of the pressure off. But obviously, if you lose tonight then the pressure's on again. So you can't take anything for granted - you've got to win the game. You've got to respect Liverpool as individuals and as a team. But we played well on Saturday, created a lot of chances, so if we can create chances tonight for people like [Dame] N'Doye, we'll score goals.

Steve Bruce has had some ups and downs as Hull manager - what do you think his approach will be to ensure Liverpool face a Hull team playing at its best?

His team-talks won't change from three or four weeks ago. The main fact of the matter is to forget about how well you're playing, forget about tactics, forget about formations - it's about winning the game of football. It doesn't matter how you win. So you've got to win the game of football and Steve will be saying that tonight: "Look at what you did on Saturday, go out with the same attitude and you'll win the game again." We beat Liverpool in 2013, we got a point at Anfield this season, so we shouldn't be in fear of them. Leicester went on a four-match winning run, so why can't we? But it's all about tonight - win tonight and the pressure's massively off again.

Who would you say are Hull's dangermen?

Individually, you know that the players haven't reached Steve's standards. That's why we're in the situation that we're in. But N'Doye has come in, and at £3 million he's been a steal. He's scored goals for us, and that's what we need. We need other people to contribute and we haven't done that this seaso. We beat Palace on Saturday as a team and if we play as a team tonight, I'm sure we may be able to beat Liverpool.

Which Liverpool players will you be worried about?

Steven Gerrard is always dangerous from set-pieces. Philippe Coutinho has had a fantastic season and there's the threat of Raheem Sterling. It's a blow for Brendan Rodgers that Daniel Sturridge is injured, but they've got a lot of quality - a lot of pace in the team. We've got to be aware of that, we've got to defend well tonight. If we don't we'll get beat.

You had two spells at Hull, finally leaving 18 years after you'd first arrived with the club in the Premier League. What changed at the club in that time?

Well, the major change for me was the stadium, bringing in so many more supporters. I played at Boothferry Park and ended up playing at the KC Stadium and that's the main change. Obviously there were personnel changes, but that was a great spell for me, a great moment in my life, when I scored for the club. The most important thing is for the club to stay in the Premier League.

Do you have a prediction for tonight's game?

2-0 to us.

Finally Dean, what are you up to at the moment?

I'm an ambassador at the football club and that's my main focus and what I do. That's a good job for me, it's an honour that I've got the job and whatever will be this season, hopefully it will be enough.
