Hull boss wants players to take advantage of Leicester position
Hull boss Marco Silva has challenged his players to ignore Leicester's emerging form and concentrate on their own performance in avoiding relegation.
Leicester launched the post-Claudio Ranieri era with a rousing 3-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday evening, Silva has warned his side they will have to halt the Foxes' new-found momentum immediately if they are to prosper.
He told the club's official website, www.hullcitytigers.com: "Every game we play is a big opportunity for us to take points and move up the table.
"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."
