Norwich City boss Chris Hughton says that the club must do everything to make sure they remain in the Premier League.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has hinted that the club must do everything possible to stay in the Premier League.

The Canaries have not won any of their last nine in the league since their 2-1 success over Wigan Athletic on December 15.

Hughton insists that he does not mind how many points his side collect in the final 12 games of the season, provided it is enough to avoid relegation.

"We have got 12 games left, and whichever way we get the points, we have to get them," Hughton told Sport360.

"There is only one priority and target - to make sure we are in this league next season. We went through a difficult period at the beginning of the season, then a very good period where we didn't lose for 10 games, now we are finding wins that little bit harder.

"All you hope is to rectify that by doing the work on the training pitch. We are working on all aspects."

Norwich, who sit 14th in the Premier League, host Everton on February 23.
