Southampton will travel north to Hull City on Sunday with the wind beneath their wings.The Saints (3-4-3) enjoyed the clubs greatest ever European night on Thursday with a 2-1 comeback win over the admittedly-diminished Italian giants Inter Milan. It was a deserved victory for a team that thoroughly outplayed Internazionale both home and away -- although they did succumb to an unfortunate defeat in Milan a fortnight ago.The Saints performance further strengthened the belief that they are a team capable of challenging for at least a top-six spot in Premier League again this season. Manager Claude Puel insists it is important that his players are able to transfer their Inter performance into domestic action.Its important now to forget this game against Inter Milan and now its another competition and an important game for us against Hull City, Puel said. It will be important to have a good result just before the international break for the mind and the confidence, and also because we dont have a lot of points in the Premier League.Its important to be in the top half of the Premier League.Hull City (2-1-7), meanwhile, are in a whole heap of trouble.The Tigers have lost six on the bounce, conceding more goals than any other team in the division while scoring fewer than all except bottom-feeders Sunderland heading into this weekends play.And its not just stats that suggest Hull could be under threat of an immediate return to the second tier of English football. They have flip-flopped between tactical styles and team lineups, with manager Mike Phelan so far appearing incapable of creating a functioning first team out of the available players.However, the former Manchester United assistant manager is not panicking just yet.Its a big learning curve for all of us, Phelan said. Im relishing it. Its not fazing me. Im not depressed or down and Im pretty confident. Its about settling everything down. With the quality weve got and the togetherness were trying to get, Im sure we can achieve something.(Southampton) have a squad comparable to any top team in the Premier League. They are a club on the up and we will have to be at our best to be competitive.Hulls injury crisis is beginning to ease, but Phelan will still be without defenders Alex Bruce and Andy Robertson for Sundays fixture. Robert Snodgrass and Dieumerci Mbokani both also struggling to shake off knocks in time to feature.Southamptons Shane Long, Matty Targett and Cedric Soares remain unavailable due to injury, but Puel rotated his team slightly for Thursdays Europa League tie so he should have fresh legs to call upon.Hulls record against the Saints is worse than against any other Premier League club.

Kent 310 for 3 (Dickson 81, Denly 78) vs SussexScorecard It was a day for the purists in Royal Tunbridge Wells where bowlers toiled in the heat and dirt while Kents batsmen played the ball on its merits to reach 310 for 3 on the opening day of their Specsavers County Championship clash with neighbours Sussex.A sluggish, two-paced pitch coupled with an outfield at The Nevill Ground that could do with a good mowing ensured an honest battle between bat and ball and, with great joy, the introduction of leg-spin before lunch as the visitors vied for a second breakthrough.Kent certainly won the cat-and-mouse tussle of day one courtesy of a second-wicket stand worth 162 in 57.2 overs between Joe Denly (78) and Sean Dickson (81) who could only muster 12 boundaries between them.Dickson, Kents top-scorer on a hard-working day, said: Joe Denly and I had a chat when we were batting and we came to the conclusion that the pitch was two-paced and seemed a bit quicker from the bowlers from the Pavilion End.Whittingham bowled me a bouncer earlier that over and, if Im honest, I didnt play it that well. I knew in the back of my mind hes probably bowl me a second bouncer but I never really got into a good enough position to deal with it. I was caught between the steer and leaving it alone and did neither. I should have just ducked out of the way.Dickson added: Ive been getting decent starts of late without going on beyond 50. Okay, I didnt bat on to reach three-figures today but, looking at the bigger picture, Ive at least helped set us up nicely for a big total.In these conditions the pitcch will only get dryer and start to break up.dddddddddddd So the prospect for Sussex, of facing Kagiso Rabada and our two spinners on a dry wicket, isnt going to be an inviting one.Batting first after winning the toss, Kent lost their makeshift opener Adam Ball to the 10th ball of the match. Standing in for Daniel Bell-Drummond who is away on England Lions duty together with Sam Billings, Ball drove at his fourth ball of the day from Chris Jordan to edge to Ross Taylor at first slip and depart without scoring.Denly and Dickson saw off the new ball pairing of Steve Magoffin and Jordan, then Stu Whittinghams first delivery of the game proved eventful, a beamer, it flew over Joe Denlys head for six no balls leading to an official warning from umpire Nick Cook.The hosts re-grouped either side of lunch through Denly and Dickson who set out their stall to bat time. Playing back, the South Africa-born player in two minds against a short delivery and only succeeded in spooning it to Will Beer positioned in the gully.After batting over four hours Denly was also guilty of giving up his own wicket. Aiming to pull a length ball from Whittingham, he skied a top-edge to Taylor at mid-wicket to make it 199 for three. It proved to be the last success of the day for Sussex.Northeast and Stevens dug in through to stumps, Northeast passing his 50 in 77 balls while Stevens posted his first-half century since mid-May from 75 deliveries and with six fours and six.
