Aluko urges Hull to be fearless in season run-in

Hull City striker Sone Aluko urges his side to be fearless ahead of a ridiculously tough set of fixtures for the Tigers in the final six games of the season.

Hull slumped to their third consecutive loss against Southampton last week and with the Tigers facing a daunting task against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United in their final six fixtures, many feel that they will struggle to avoid the drop.

Despite the extremely difficult run-in though, Aluko is not getting fazed and has urged his teammates to be fearless against the big teams in order to help preserve Hull's top flight status.

The 26-year old said: "We're not fearful of anyone in this league. We've shown we can take points off any of the big teams.

"It's when we don't perform that it's frustrating. Sometimes we lose games for ourselves, rather than teams beating us. We know we've got good players and if we play to our potential we will stay up. We just have to keep believing."
