Hull's Bruce only worried about Premier League survival

Hull City manager Steve Bruce says he is not even thinking about the FA Cup final.

The Tigers are up against Arsenal in the final of the prestigious cup competition at Wembley on May 17 but the boss is only focused on survival as his team sits six points above the drop zone with four fixtures remaining.

"I am not interested in Wembley, we've got to stay in this league and let Wembley look after itself," he said in the wake of the 3-0 league loss to the Gunners on Sunday.

"We have got to concentrate on the next few games, make sure we get over the line, we haven't done it yet, we're not safe yet and we've still got a bit of work to do, and that's what I'm concentrating on.

"I always said if we get 10 wins that's usually enough, it still might be, but it's too close for comfort.

"We've seen some unbelievable results over the weekend, it's concertinaed and it's quite a remarkable league this year."
