Jack Butland: 'Three wins enough for Stoke City to survive'

Jack Butland believes that Stoke City will beat the drop if they win three of their remaining five matches, matching their tally from the past four months.

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has targeted three wins from his side's remaining five games to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The Potters edged a step closer to the drop on Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur, leaving them with just one win in their last 14 matches and four points adrift of safety.

Butland believes that Stoke will prolong their stay in the top flight of English football by trebling that tally in the remaining five weeks of the season, however, with games against West Ham United, Burnley, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Swansea City to come.

"We need three wins, we know what we need to do and we'll set out to do just that," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying. "If the team can play like we did [against Spurs] then I firmly believe we'll win games.

"We're in a relegation fight, we're going to be physical, but we've also felt that nothing is going our way at the moment and we're not getting results our performances have deserved. We caused them problems yesterday, created opportunities and if things go slightly differently then we win the game.

"It's similar to last week; things just haven't gone our way and that happens when you're down there. Of course we're disappointed not to have any points, but we stay strong and fight next week. We can't feel sorry for ourselves; we must keep believing and battling because it's up to us to turn that spirit into the right results the fans deserve.

"I think the way we played, we showed them the spirit that we've got and I think that's all they want to see, they were brilliant yesterday."

Spurs have now won more Premier League away games at Stoke than any other team (7).
