Liverpool v QPR: Ramsey looking to Hull for inspiration

Chris Ramsey says QPR must learn from Hull City's exploits earlier this week ahead of their trip to Liverpool on Saturday.

Brendan Rodgers' side were beaten 1-0 at the KC Stadium on Tuesday to deflate their UEFA Champions League aspirations, and Ramsey hopes his side can boost their survival hopes with a similar display.

A journey to Liverpool is the first of two tricky assignments on the road for Ramsey's side – they head to Manchester City the weekend after – before they face fellow strugglers Newcastle United and Leicester City.

"Whoever you're playing is going to give you a fight and a battle," he said. "Any team can beat any team at any time, but we know that Liverpool have the quality and resilience to bounce back [from the Hull defeat]. 

"They've been written off a few times this season and Brendan's done a fantastic job to bring them back to the levels that warrant a team of Liverpool's stature. 

"But we believe we can beat anyone on our day and we hope that our day will be at the weekend."

Some of Ramsey's belief will come from QPR's heroic efforts against Liverpool earlier in the season when, despite losing 3-2, they came close to snatching a draw.

Four goals in the closing minutes at Loftus Road saw QPR throw a point away as Steven Caulker's own goal handed Liverpool a dramatic win.

Defeat at Hull was Liverpool's third in five outings, leaving them seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
