Hull City boss Steve Bruce eyes 30-point mark against Leicester City

Hull City boss Steve Bruce says that his players have the "incentive" to reach 30 points when they take on Leicester City on Saturday.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce believes that beating Leicester City will boost the team "psychologically" in the Premier League run-in.

The Tigers are currently five points above the relegation zone with 10 games to play, while this Saturday's opponents are rooted to the bottom.

"Whether you play Leicester or one of the top teams, you know it's going to be difficult," Bruce told reporters.

"If we can beat Leicester it's going to be difficult for them to catch us with nine-10 games to play, and there's the incentive for us. If we can get to 30 points with nine games to play, psychologically it's a huge number."

Hull have failed to win their last two league games.
