Marco Silva says Hull City have 'achieved nothing' despite good form

Marco Silva insists Hull City "have achieved nothing at this moment", despite the club's upturn in form.
Seven points from their last four Premier League fixtures against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool has lifted Hull to one point from safety.
Silva claimed it would take a 'miracle' for his side to survive after he replaced Mike Phelan as Hull boss but, despite the sales of Jake Livermore and Robert Snodgrass in January, the Tigers' form has dramatically improved with their most recent outing a 2-0 win against Liverpool.
However, Silva does not believe Premier League survival can be taken for granted.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Hull's trip to Arsenal, Silva said: "You think it's easy now? Okay, I'm happy. But we have won nothing.
"It's important when we achieve good results and the last result was very good for us (2-0 victory over Liverpool), but only that, nothing more.
"It gives us more confidence and shows not only me but the players this is the right way, but we need to continue to do our work.
"We took three points from our last game, but nothing more. Of course it's going to be really difficult to achieve our goal, to keep the club in the Premier League.
"I want my players to keep their feet on the ground because we have achieved nothing at this moment."
Hull travel to the Emirates on Saturday, before fixtures against Burnley, Swansea and Leicester.
Crucially for Hull, they have won all four home games under Silva to date and know that good home form is essential to their survival bid.
"The most important always is the next game and that's against Arsenal," Silva added.
"This is what's on our minds and what we prepare for this week. We don't talk about Burnley and of course about the others, we talk only about our work for the next game and what's on our minds is only Arsenal."
