Brown hopes for happy Monday
Hull boss Phil Brown believes being the last of the Barclays Premier League relegation candidates to play this weekend could work to his side's advantage.[LNB]The Tigers could be in the bottom three by the time they kick off against Aston Villa on Monday, should Newcastle or Middlesbrough produce shock results against title challengers Liverpool and Manchester United respectively.[LNB]That would seem an unlikely scenario but Brown, whose side have won just once in 18 matches, claims his players are ready for the challenge come what may.[LNB]He said: "All along we have had our destiny in our hands and if we are in the bottom three on Monday it will be up to us to get out of it.[LNB]"They are big asks for Newcastle and Middlesbrough but big things happen at this stage of the season. The advantage of Monday night is that we will know what we have to do.[LNB]"There are 72 teams outside the Premier League that would like to be in our position. We are all fighting for something. There is still a lot to play for and it will be nice on Monday to know exactly where we are."
