Redknapp insists Tottenham can finish in top seven

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is eyeing a top seven finish this season.

Redknapp said: "How many points needed to survive? I spoke to Peter Storrie at Portsmouth and he was talking about 42 points to me and that is a bit frightening. I don't see you'll need 42 points.

"When the pressure comes on it gets very difficult for some teams. It could still take 39 points, something around that mark. It's two wins for us. For some teams you are talking about six wins. West Brom probably need another 16-17 points.

"We've just got to keep trying to win games. Every manager apart from the top four - plus Aston Villa, Everton and West Ham - will be looking over their shoulder."

Redknapp added: "Every year someone goes into freefall but also every year someone pulls out of it when things look bleak. I was at Portsmouth two or three years ago when we looked at trying to get 20 more points with 10 games to go after I think we only had 16 or 17 all year.

"We managed it. West Ham have done something similar. Fulham did it last year. But I would love to finish seventh. We're playing so well in recent weeks and there's no reason we can't keep pushing up the table now."
