Ben Mee: 'Burnley still confident'

Burnley defender Benn Mee insists that the side are "still very confident" of avoiding relegation, despite sitting 19th in the Premier League table.

Ben Mee has insisted that Burnley are "still very confident" as they try to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The Clarets are 19th in the table ahead of their match against Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, but just a point from safety.

The defender told the Burnley Express: "We're still very confident. We're coming out of a tricky run but they are all tough games, the ones coming up against the teams in and around us are going to be good battles.

"We've shown we can be as good, be confident against them and have no fear. We won't go away, as we've shown all season, we want to annoy people and stick around, and get results.

"We won't get overwhelmed, we kept our heads really well last year, took it game by game and this is similar this year. Obviously the games are a lot tougher, and there's a lot riding on them, but the same applies from last year."

Burnley have won just once in their last nine matches in the league.
