Paul Lambert sets Stoke survival target of three wins

Paul Lambert has set Stoke a target of three wins from their final four games as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Stoke are five points from safety with four games remaining in the season and are looking to avoid the drop after 10 consecutive years in the top flight.

Lambert has struggled since taking over from Mark Hughes but the Stoke boss is adamant he will not change his tactics or style of play as the pressure grows.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's home clash with Burnley, the Scot said: "We need to win three of the four games we have left and that is the mindset.

"We have to give everything we have to get the points we need.

"We have to win and if we have the backing and make this really hostile on Sunday, the way I know it can be, and if we play with tempo and with fire in our stomach, then we really have a chance."

"I've not changed my tactics at all - I've gone for the win in every match since I've been here. Even at The Emirates and against Spurs, we went for it.

"Against Arsenal and Tottenham we were unfortunate and against West Ham we had good moments."

"We've been unfortunate not to win more games. We will approach the final four matches in the same manner."

Peter Crouch scored in the recent 1-1 draw with West Ham and Lambert admits he may have played himself into contention to start against Burnley.

He added: "I think Crouchy gives us something different on the pitch and he is certainly in contention for Sunday's game.

"Maxim Choupo-Moting and Kostas Stafylidis are still struggling with injury, but Glen Johnson trained this morning and should hopefully be fit for the weekend."
