"Hull's remaining fixtures are as nasty a set of matches as you'll find. After Southampton, they still have to play Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United at home, and face away trips to Burnley and Alan Pardew's revitalised Palace.
"Twelve months ago they thought their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United was a big game - these games are all bigger by far.
"Southampton look resigned to the thought that breaking the Champions League cartel isn't going to happen this season. Their target now must be achieving a highest top-flight finish in three decades - - since they were fifth in 1985."
