<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Hull City assistant boss Brian Horton insists the Tigers believe they can make an impact in the Premier League. Despite being one of the bookies' favourites for relegation, Horton told BBC Radio Humberside they will be adopting a winning mentality. "If you don't, you'll never achieve anything but we know it's going to be tough and we're favourites to go down," said Horton. "However, Reading only just missed out on Europe in their first season." Horton was taking part in a promotional tour of Hull with the Premier League trophy and stopped by the BBC studios in Hull. The former Tigers player-manager said: "It's a fantastic trophy and that's what it's all about. "With the fixtures coming out this week and seeing all the teams we're going to play it's just mind-blowing really and it's just hitting home to me." Hull won promotion to the top flight for the first time in their 104-year history with their 1-0 play-off final win over Bristol City in May.</div> Source: BBC Sport I think Hull can stay up next season, but they'll have to make a few signings. Christian Vieri has been in talks supposedly. Anyway, I don't see them having a season like Derby County did last season.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham implodes at some point and falls to the bottom at the wrong time to replace one of those three choices.
Yeah, I would be distraught if West Ham fall through. I know a few huge Hammers fans and I would never hear the end of it. 1. Man. United 2. Arsenal 3. Chelsea 4. Tottenham 5. Liverpool 18. Wigan 19. Fulham 20. Stoke It's way too early to predict though.

However, all three may sign some important players before the upcoming transfer season is over.
Bolton may suffer too, but I actually really like their Fabrice Muamba signing. He's going to be a great central midfielder.
