Hull City midfielder David Meyler has insisted that the squad is feeling relaxed ahead of their crucial encounter with Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Tigers have to beat the Red Devils at the KC Stadium tomorrow if they want to give themselves a chance of survival.

Despite their top-flight status hanging in the balance, Meyler believes that Hull are "more than capable" of staying in the league.

"We're quite relaxed and all looking forward to the game," he told the club's official website. "Training has been good, it's been sharp and the players know what is required. We know it's going to be a tough game because it's Manchester United, but bring on Sunday.

"We have a saying in Ireland that pressure is for tyres. This is a game of football and we have to look forward to it. We know we need to win it and we know we're more than capable of doing that."

Hull suffered their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League last weekend with a 2-0 loss away to Tottenham Hotspur.
