Hull City boss Steve Bruce refuses to panic over their Premier League status after defeat to Southampton.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United all come to the KC Stadium before the season is out, while trips to fellow strugglers Burnley and revitalised Crystal Palace await.

"Listen, Sunderland today would be thinking they've got chance against Crystal Palace at home and get beat by four," Bruce said.

"We've got four games out of six at home and we have to win a couple of them, in my opinion, and might have to do a bit more than that.

"We've certainly got an opportunity no matter who we play against as we're at home.

"Going to Southampton, Swansea, Leicester, they're all not easy. That's why we're in the position we are in.

"We are finding it difficult but I'm still convinced we can beat three others. It'll be difficult but I still remain positive we can do it."
