Middlesbrough striker Rudy Gestede says they must believe they can survive relegation despite failing to win since mid-December

Middlesbrough must believe that they can end their current slump to avoid a swift return to England's second tier, striker Rudy Gestede says.

Boro face Arsenal on Monday as the league's lowest scorers with 22 goals, and have not won a league game since mid-December. They are languishing in 19th, six points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.

Gestede told the club's website: 'We have to believe we can do it. You have to have this positivity to keep going, otherwise you won't win anything. I think we've all got that same message, the same attitude and mentality.
