Hull set sights on Arsenal after claiming Liverpool scalp

Hull City manager Steve Bruce is not resting on his laurels following Tuesday night's crucial win over Liverpool.

The Tigers brightened their survival hopes by edging the Reds 1-0 at the KC Stadium courtesy of Michael Dawson's 37th-minute header which saw them move up to 15th place on the Premier League table.

Hull now sit four points clear of the drop zone with fixtures left but Bruce will not relax, especially with Arsenal visiting next Monday.

"It is a great victory - make no bones about it. But we have still got a bit to do, I don't think 34 points is enough," he said.

"We have given ourselves an outstanding chance but that is all it is. We have earned back to back wins and two clean sheets, we showed some of the resilience we have shown over the last few years since I've been here. So it is a big step in the right direction.

"I always knew we had four matches at home out of our last five, Arsenal and Man Utd at home and also Burnley who are fighting like us.

"It is never easy in the Premier League against anyone but home advantage can give you an advantage.

"The win stands us in good stead but we have got Arsenal on Monday night so have to be at our best again."
