Andrew Surman insists Bournemouth still have work to do to stay in Premier League

Andrew Surman says Bournemouth will not become complacent despite being 13 points clear of the Premier League's bottom three.

Last Saturday's 3-2 win over Swansea lifted Bournemouth to 13th in the table and a win at Tottenham on Sunday could see them move into the top half.

Surman spoke to Sky Sports News HQ of his club's survival battle, on the same day local pupils had lessons at the Vitality Stadium as part of the Destination Education My Team programme - an initiative largely funded by Poole's Dolphin Shopping Centre.

But, the former Norwich midfielder insists his team will not stop working until they have secured their spot in the Premier League for another year.

"I think until it's mathematically secured we will keep going," he said. "We've put ourselves in a really good position. We want to look up now.

"We've caught a couple of clubs that are mid-table, if we can keep winning you never know where we might end up finishing."

The midfielder will undoubtedly be putting everything into the Cherries' upcoming match against White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Surman has run the most distance of any player in the Premier League, covering an average of over 12km per game, totaling 361km so far this season.

The distance is more than enough to get him from Bournemouth to White Hart Lane on Sunday and back again.

When Spurs visited the Vitality Stadium back in October, they secured a comfortable 5-1 win, and Surman is well aware that coming away from title-chasing Spurs with three points will be a big challenge.

"They [Tottenham] are probably the best team we've played this season," Surman added. "Spurs are setting the pace at the moment and it's no surprise to me that they're at the top of the league."
