1 Tom Huddlestone

Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone believes his new side can defy the odds and stay up this season – once he gets in the side.

The former Spurs man made his debut for Steve Bruce’s side on Sunday in the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Huddlestone was introduced as a substitute – alongside fellow newcomer Jake Livermore – but now he cannot wait to start matches for his new club.

“I’ve got to get in the team and cement myself in the starting 11, first and foremost,” he said. “I am sure if I manage to do that then myself and the team will hopefully have a good year.”
