Hull City manager Phil Brown insists that the upcoming clash against Blackburn Rovers is the "biggest" game of the season for his side.
The Tigers travel to Ewood Park for Wednesday's game following draws with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea, topped with a surprise victory over Manchester City last weekend.
Hull have been miserable on their travels till date, as they have failed to win a single game away from home this season, but Brown hopes his side can do the necessary damage against Sam Allardyce's men.
"People have made reference to the three home games against Wolves, Chelsea and Manchester City, but for me this is the biggest game of the season by a long way," he told Sky Sports News.
"It's one where we are going into the lion's den with a wounded animal. A 3-0 defeat against Stoke City will be hurting Sam and his players.
"They are going to be at it and up for it. They've got a tremendous home record. We're up against it, there's no doubt about it.
"Certainly with the way they play as well. They put you on the back foot. You've got to be able to defend set-pieces with their aerial threat in the penalty area.
"He's a strong man, he's a strong manager and he's got a strong team. I think it's our biggest game of the season.
"With us not having a game at the weekend, there aren't many games for us in February. We've got to put our best foot forward away from home and hopefully do sufficient to get our first away win."
