Stoke City boss Tony Pulis rates their clash with Newcastle United a must-win victory this weekend.
A win would take the Potters above Newcastle on the table with 37 points.
Pulis said: "It's very, very important for the football club that we stay focused on the league and we've got a very, very tough game on Saturday against Newcastle. We've got to win it.
"They'll be up for it and what we've got to do is generate the same atmosphere we generated the other day against West Ham, both on the pitch and off the pitch. The support from both sides made the cup tie what it was, and that was a very, very exciting game.
"The supporters have to stay focused on the league. We've had a three-year plan and we're not through it yet. We have to get through it and at the end of the season I'll talk about those three years and why it was so important to get through them.
"Our aim right from the beginning of the season has been to get to 40 points as quickly as we can. That's never changed and that will never change.
"If we can do it in the next two games then brilliant. If not then the next three games, and if we can't do that then hopefully in the next four."
