Markovic has a point to prove having so far failed to make the grade at Liverpool. While he’s yet to get off the mark for the Tigers, he’s had an obvious impact on the team. His final ball is inferior to that of former Hull midfielder Robert Snodgrass, but the signs are promising. Sitting four points adrift of safety and running out of games, he needs to find form quickly though.
It must be frustrating for Negredo to be playing under a manager, Aitor Karanka, whose main focus has been on discipline.
