Aston Villa manager Remi Garde says his players will fight to the last to secure their Premier League status.
Villa are nine points adrift of safety at the foot of the table having secured just three victories all season.
Next up for Garde's team is a trip to Swansea in this weekend's Saturday Night Football and despite their seemingly hopeless predicament, he insists they will continue to battle for the pride of the club.
"It's still mathematically possible and until the end, we will still believe," the Frenchman told Aston Villa's official website.
"I would say it's a massive challenge to win enough games to be safe.
"But when you're wearing an Aston Villa shirt you have to be proud and fight until the last moment. That's what we will do.
"I love football. I hate defeats. Five defeats in a row - I am not sure I have experienced that before in my whole career.
It's still mathematically possible and until the end, we will still believe.
"I am relying on myself to be strong and find the right words for the players. When I see that Tottenham game [a 2-0 home defeat on Sunday], I feel that the players hear what I say.
"We will now go to Swansea and try to win."
