Silva: Hull will take each game as it comes to avoid the drop

Hull City boss Marco Silva insists he is taking each game as it comes as he continues his battle to lift the Tigers out of the Premier League relegation zone.

City currently sit in 19th, two points ahead of basement side Sunderland but two points from safety.

They picked up just one win throughout February, coming at home to Liverpool at the start of the month.

But with a trip to struggling champions Leicester City coming up next on Saturday, Silva is keen to see his team place all their focus on the game at hand.

“Every game we play is a big opportunity for us to take points and move up the table,” he said.

“We need to think game by game and right now we only think about Leicester on Saturday. They have had a change in management and when this happens, there is normally a change in the performance of the team.

“We need to be ready for this situation, but what we really need to focus on is our own work and to do it to our best on the pitch.”

Following this weekend’s visit to the King Power Stadium, Hull face Swansea in their next Premier League clashes, another side battling to avoid the drop.

And these, Silva admits, are ties that his side must be at their absolute best for.

“This is a normal situation of facing different types of teams,” added Silva.

“Against Burnley last weekend we played slightly differently because they came to play a direct game.

“You need to prepare for all games because different teams bring different types of games and you need to be ready for each one.

“We need to improve, but it is the normal things that we need to improve. This is a big fight that we are in until the end of May and we must continue to work hard every day.”
