Hull City manager Steve Bruce has insisted that he has no concerns with Tom Huddlestone's recent form for the club.

The midfielder received plenty of praise for his displays earlier in the season, with his performance in the 6-0 victory over Fulham being lauded by pundits and supporters.

Bruce believes that Huddlestone will soon rediscover his top form as Hull look to secure their Premier League status.

"I wouldn't say his form has tailed off, because he's set himself very high standards," Bruce told reporters.

"We were all waxing lyrical after we beat Fulham, saying that he was the greatest player the club's ever seen. Of course, it's a long, long season.

"There's no doubting Tom's ability, he'll always have that. Just now he's maybe not playing as well as he did two months ago but he'll be back to his best."

Hull visit Wales to take on Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.
