Hull City defender Curtis Davies is eyeing an England call-up.

Davies, 28, has ­enjoyed a sparkling start to the ­season but reckons England boss Roy Hodgson will not have noticed.

Davies said: "I'd love to play for my country but, being in a Hull City shirt, I think that would be very difficult.

"My only chance would be if the manager comes here to watch Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore and I might surprise him.

"Jake and Tom have played for Roy Hodgson but I don't think he'd come just to watch me.

"You could pick the list of ­defenders before the ­England squad's gone up, regardless of whether they're playing for their club. It usually picks itself."
