Brown expects no Utd favours
Hull City boss Phil Brown is still expecting a tough test on the final day of the season despite Manchester United sealing the title on Saturday.
The Red Devils secured a third straight Premier League crown after a 0-0 draw with Arsenal, meaning boss Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to rotate his squad for the last game of the season at the KC Stadium, with the UEFA Champions League final in mind.
The Tigers, meanwhile, handed their survival hopes a huge lift after they battled back for a 1-1 stalemate at Bolton Wanderers to climb out of the relegation zone with a one-point advantage over 17th-placed Newcastle United.
Hull next face a potentially weakened United XI at home a week on Sunday, but Brown is under no illusions as to the challenge that awaits his charges.
Brown said at a press conference after the game: "We're still in it and we still have a chance coming into the last game of the season.
Relief"There will be suggestions of weakened sides and all sorts. But as you have seen today, nobody does you any favours in the Premier League.
"We could quite easily name two (United) teams, and sometimes three, that Sir Alex could put out. That's the level of quality of that football club."
Of his side's display at the Reebok Stadium, he said: "It was a well-fought scrap. I think we deservedly should have had three points.
"It slipped out of our hands after the Newcastle game. We were dumped in the bottom three by Newcastle. And it is not a nice feeling.
"We had to respond. I was quite proud of the performance. While it is back in our hands, we have to win against the champions."
