Goalkeeper Matt Duke has every confidence Hull will put an end to their poor league form and retain their Premiership status. The 31-year-old insists his side are not feeling downhearted after their recent performances.

"I think the spirit in the camp has always been good," Duke said.

"Obviously after you lose a game it's a bit down but you come back to training the next day and the spirit's good.

"We are new to the Premier League and we have got to expect we'll come up against those things. Hopefully we'll learn from them and they won't come up again.

"Hopefully the difference between those with experience of the Premier League and those without will come together and we'll learn from that and get better."
