Hull City boss Steve Bruce hoping for "one last twist" in relegation battle

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has claimed that his team need to be at their absolute best in order to retain their Premier League status.

The Tigers are two points adrift of safety, but they face tough fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in their final two games of the season.

"Let's hope we can take it to the last game - that's our objective now," Bruce said in this morning's press conference. "We need to get a result at Tottenham and keep it alive. We need seven or eight of our players at the top of their form on Saturday. We have to perform to the level to give us a chance.

"Can we come out fighting? If we get beat we get beat with our boots on and if that's not enough we have to accept the consequences.

"We sincerely hope there is going to be one last twist, it's our job to get a result and give us a chance. It's up to us to produce a performance, which we know were capable of."

Hull's clash against Spurs on Saturday will be held at White Hart Lane.
