Hull City boss Marco Silva believes his squad are handling the pressure in the Premier League relegation battle

Hull manager Marco Silva thinks his players are handling the pressure well as the fight to remain in the Premier League reaches its crucial stage.

Silva's side remain two points above the drop zone despite successive 3-1 defeats at Manchester City and Stoke.

Hull hope to have more home comforts when they return to the KCOM Stadium against Watford on Saturday where they are unbeaten since the Portuguese took charge in January.

Maintaining that record might see them edge further clear of nearest rivals Swansea, who host Stoke.

''It is normal pressure, big pressure yes but all the teams have pressure,'' said Silva at his pre-match press conference.
