Middlesbrough believe they can avoid relegation from the Premier League this season despite being six points adrift of safety, says head coach Steve Agnew.

"It's a massive run in for us," Agnew told BBC Tees.

"We're six points off with a game in hand and it's all to play for. The players are determined to stay with it, and a break is something we deserve."

Boro's home crowd for Saturday's goalless draw with Burnley almost topped 30,000.

"You could feel that the 12th man is everything we need right to the end," Agnew said.

"I know for a fact we'll have that support to the very end. If we stay together and get the goal we're more than capable of picking the three points up that will virtually change everything."
