Thanks to a 2-0 win in the first leg on Sunday, the Tigers are on the brink of reaching the home of English football for the first time in the club's 104-year history.

Promotion to the Barclays Premier League is now firmly on the radar of ex-Halifax Town player Phil Brown's side, but midfielder Hughes has sounded a note of caution amid rising expectation levels in and around the KC Stadium and has demanded a decent showing against the Hornets.

"To come away from Watford with a 2-0 win on Sunday has obviously raised excitement around the area and the profile of Hull has obviously gone up again as everyone thinks we're going to Wembley," said Hughes.

"Obviously, we've got another game to go yet and we've got to stay focussed - the job is not finished yet.

"You can get into a bit of complacency where you've got a two-goal lead and you defend for your lives, but that's not what we are about. At home this season we've proved we'll try to score goals and I can't see us being any different tonight.

"I've never played at Wembley, but I was there a few weeks ago to watch the FA Cup semi-final between West Brom and Portsmouth and I sampled it then.

"It is an unbelievable stadium and obviously it is the talk of the town now everyone thinks we're going to Wembley.

"But we are trying to stay focussed and we've still got a job to do. Until we finish that job off we can't think of Wembley."

Hughes has a remarkable track record where the play-offs are concerned, suffering heartache at the semi-final stage with Birmingham in 1999, 2000 and 2001 before helping Blues reach the Premier League with victory over Norwich in the final in May 2002.
