Elmohamady: KCOM must be Hull’s fortress to beat drop
Ahmed Elmohamady insists home form will make all the difference as Hull City battle to beat the drop after the international break.
Next up for the Tigers when the teams reassemble in ten days’ time are clashes with West Ham and Middlesbrough at the KCOM Stadium.
The Tigers currently sit 18th in the table, three points off Swansea outside the drop zone with Crystal Palace a further point clear.
Hull head into the international break on the back of a 4-0 defeat to Everton, which saw Tom Huddlestone sent off, but the 28-year-old Egyptian remains confident – as long as they can continue the home form that saw them take down the Swans last time out at the KCOM.
“The home games will be huge. Look at our record at home, it is very good – especially under the new manager,” he said.
“You can’t predict a points target. It is impossible in the Premier League. I was at the club two years ago when we were in this situation and it is hard to predict.

“But I do believe we need to win all our home games. That has to be our target. And then nick maybe a win away or a couple of draws. That will help keep us in the Premier League.
“Swansea was a six-point game and there will be a lot more like that.
“We played really well and I think the fans enjoyed it. Everyone was smiling at the end and we will remember this when we are at home again after the international break.”
