Liverpool: Luis Suarez scored his 20th Premier League goal of the season as Liverpool got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Hull on Wednesday.
Suarez, the league's top scorer despite having missed five games with a suspension, doubled the Reds' lead in the 50th minute with a perfect free kick curled into the top left corner after Daniel Agger had headed home Philippe Coutinho's corner to make it 1-0 in the 36th.
Liverpool moved up to fourth place in the standings after two consecutive losses against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard made his return off the bench to play his first game since picking up a hamstring injury in early December.
Jason Puncheon equalised from a penalty just before halftime Wednesday to give Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw against Norwich.
The visitors went ahead in the 39th minute when Bradley Johnson fired in a shot via the post, but Leroy Fer pushed Mile Jedinak in the area in the 39th minute and Puncheon converted from the spot.
The draw meant Palace went back down into the relegation zone as it was leapfrogged by Fulham, while Norwich is just three points from danger.
In a game played in a downpour, Norwich were reduced to 10 men in the 83rd when Fer was given a second booking for a late challenge on Jedinak.
Palace striker Marouane Chamakh was lucky to only pick up a yellow card after shoving Wes Hoolahan to the ground in the 41st.
