Stoke City defender Andy Wilkinson wants the club to build on recent results and secure a top-half finish in the Premier League this season.

The Potters are currently 12th in the table and have enjoyed a good week on the pitch after earning draws against high-flying pair Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Now Wilkinson is hoping that they can take this momentum into the season run-in and cap a memorable campaign by adding a top-10 finish to their European exploits.

"I think we've done particularly well in the past week when you think we played Tottenham and Man City in a period of three games in six days," he said.

"It goes without saying that we need these kinds of performances in all games, but you've also got to remember there is no easy game in the Premier League. That's why any team can beat any other team on their day.

"I think the hunger is still there to finish in the top half and make history again. It's been an amazing season and a great journey, but we've got to keep pushing on to get the rewards we deserve."

The 27-year-old full-back has made 31 appearances for Tony Pulis's side this season.
