Pepe Mel: '37 points should be enough to keep West Brom in Premier League'

West Bromwich Albion head coach Pepe Mel believes that his side will need 37 points to retain their Premier League status.

West Bromwich Albion head coach Pepe Mel believes that his side need 37 points in order to retain their Premier League status.

The Baggies are currently three points above the relegation zone on 33, with four games left to play.

"If we consider that West Ham are safe with 37 - that's also what we need," Mel told reporters. "Last year, 36 was actually the cut-off point. I think 37 will be enough to keep us up."

Cardiff City, Fulham and Sunderland currently occupy the bottom three spots in the standings.
