West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt has admitted that securing a positive result against Fulham on Saturday could prove crucial in their attempts to remain in the Premier League.

The Baggies are currently outside of the relegation zone on goal difference after winning just four games during the current campaign, and Brunt believes that they might require the same number of victories to avoid dropping down to the Championship.

The 29-year-old told the Express & Star: "We hope that a win will lift everyone. We've only won four games all season, and if you look at the points that we're on now, we're probably going to need to win at least the same amount again to stay up.

"The games are running out quickly and if we can get a win on Saturday, it could be crucial.

"We have to take each game as it comes and the Fulham game has our complete focus at the moment."

West Brom have yet to win under current head coach Pepe Mel.
