Hull City manager Steve Bruce has admitted that he is looking forward to what are the biggest few matches of his side's season, with important games in the Premier League and FA Cup to come.

Bruce's team face Cardiff City in the Premier League at the weekend before taking on Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup, a victory in which would see them into the quarter-finals.

"It's all to play for and it would be a terrific boost for us all," he told reporters at his press conference.

"It's a big game every week for us, from the day we started at Chelsea to our first home game. They're all big games and Cardiff is another one."

Hull are currently 13th in the Premier League with 27 points.
