Premier League Match-Day 37 Tottenham Hotspur vs Hull City

Andrew Robertson insists his Hull City team-mates are prepared for one of the biggest matches of their careers in Saturday's crucial Barclays Premier League contest at Tottenham Hotspur.

Victories over Crystal Palace and Liverpool last month gave Hull renewed hope of avoiding relegation to the Championship. However, a 3-1 loss to Arsenal curtailed that momentum before a 1-0 defeat at home to relegated Burnley last weekend left Steve Bruce's men in the bottom three and two points adrift of safety with only two matches to go.

Fellow strugglers Sunderland and Leicester City face off at the Stadium of Light, meaning that the Tigers cannot be mathematically relegated this weekend but another defeat would leave them with an uphill task against Manchester United on the final day. And full-back Robertson was in no doubt as to the importance of the clash at White Hart Lane.

"Everyone knows how disappointing last weekend was for us but we can't afford to dwell on that," he told the club's official website. "We've got two massive games coming up and we've just got to train hard to be ready for the weekend and to get the result we need on Saturday.

"The two games we have left are bigger than cup finals now and will probably be among the biggest games that some of us will play in our career. We're in the relegation zone now so we have to pick up results. That has to start on Saturday and hopefully we can pick up three points to look up the table again."

Sixth-placed Spurs, who are without the suspended Vlad Chiriches and on course to secure a UEFA Europa League spot, needed a last-gasp goal from Christian Eriksen to win November's reverse fixture 2-1.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have lost three of their last five matches and put in a disappointing performance in last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Stoke City.

"We need to be more consistent next season," Pochettino said. "This season we played very well in many, many games but we are not consistent.

"We need to keep our level the whole season. I believe because we didn't do that we missed out on the top four. This season has been a learning experience for the players. We cannot repeat the performance we had in the first half against Stoke."

Hull City remain without Curtis Davies (thigh), Mohamed Diame (knee) and Gaston Ramirez (hamstring).
