Steve Agnew: Middlesbrough still believe in Premier League survival despite position

Middlesbrough believe they can avoid relegation from the Premier League this season despite their precarious league position, says head coach Steve Agnew.

Boro, in 19th place, are currently six points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.

The last of the Teesiders' four league wins was on 17 December last year and they are the lowest scorers with only 22 goals from 31 matches.

"It's a massive run in for us," Agnew, 51, told BBC Tees.

"We're six points off with a game in hand and it's all to play for. The players are determined to stay with it, and a break is something we deserve.
