David Meyler: 'Survival more important than FA Cup'

David Meyler insists that Premier League survival is more important to Hull City than reaching the FA Cup final.

Hull City midfielder David Meyler has insisted that Premier League survival is more important to the club than reaching the FA Cup final.

The Tigers recently made it through to the semi-finals of the competition, where they will face Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium.

However, Meyler believes that it is imperative for the team to pick up more points in the league before they worry about winning any silverware.

Hull are currently five points above the relegation zone with nine games left to play.

"It's a dream come true to be heading to Wembley to face Sheffield United for a place in the FA Cup final," Meyler is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"The Premier League is our bread and butter, though, and I want to ply my trade at this level for the next five to 10 years, so securing our place in the top flight remains our priority.

"We need to kick on in the last 10 games of the season and secure our place in the top flight for next season as soon as possible."

Hull's Premier League campaign continues on Saturday at home to West Bromwich Albion.
