James Perch has said that he expects Newcastle United to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.
A 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion yesterday has left the Magpies six points clear of the drop zone in 16th.
The defender told Sky Sports News: "If we keep playing like that, we will be fine. We have got a good enough team, we have got good enough players in the squad to make sure we don't go down.
"It is looking like it is going to be a low-points survival this year, but we still want to hit that 40-point mark to be sure.
"We just hope we keep playing well and picking up points away from home, and make sure our home form is a bit better."
Newcastle face Liverpool next weekend.
