West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson is confident that the club has the quality to remain in the Premier League.
The Baggies currently sit 14th on the table following last season's 11th-placed finish and Hodgson feels that he has a group of players capable of steering clear of the bottom three and setting themselves for another campaign in the top flight after a decade of bouncing up and down between the top two divisions.
"We have some very important games coming up but I believe we can stay in this league," Hodgson told Sky Sports News.
"I think we have the quality and the organisation and I think the club is set up for that.
"My hopes for the club will be that they will kick on from here and that sometime in the future people will forget the 'boing boing' aspect of West Bromwich Albion and start referring to them as a bona fide Premiership team, just as you talk about teams like Fulham and Stoke and Wigan and Bolton.
"I think the most important thing for the club is consistency and to get a run of years in the Premiership because I think the club will get stronger for every year they stay in the Premiership."
