Ashley Barnes confident of Burnley survival

Burnley forward Ashley Barnes says that the club will stay up in the Premier League this season.

Ashley Barnes has claimed that Burnley can secure Premier League survival this season.

The Clarets won for the first time this campaign by beating Hull City at the weekend, but they still remain bottom of the table.

"We believe and our changing room believes," he is quoted as saying by the Lancashire Telegraph. "A lot of people don't believe and maybe have written us off already but we believe and that's all that matters. We believe in our own ability.

"We are now going into the international break on a high and then we come back, work hard and go again.

"We will take it one game at a time and see where we go. But like I say, we believe. We are going out to win. If we keep playing like that there's every chance we can stay in this league."

Burnley were relegated in their only previous season in the Premier League.
