James Chester: 'Hull City will turn things around'

Hull City defender James Chester has insisted that the team will turn their recent slump around sooner rather than later.

The Tigers slipped into the relegation zone on the weekend as their winless run was extended to eight games with a 0-0 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Despite struggling to pick up victories, Chester is confident that Hull can get back to winning ways in the near future.

"We've struggled to score goals recently and that is something we're trying to put right," he told the club's official website. "With the quality of players that we have, I'm sure it will be sooner rather than later that the goals will start going in again.

"This is the first difficult run we've experienced since coming back into this league and we're disappointed with the results we've had, but we know that we have enough to turn it around."

Hull are back in Premier League action on Saturday when they travel to leaders Chelsea.
