Liam's Aim

City midfielder Liam Lawrence says helping to keep the Club in the Barclays Premier League would be one his all-time achievements.

The 2-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday saw the Potters move six points clear of the relegation zone and give the Potters their first top-flight win on the road in almost 25 years.

"It was fantastic to get our first away win," Lawrence told Stoke City World.

"We have had games away from home where we have not started so well but we went there, had a proper game plan and thought if we could start well we could go on to win the game.

"It is a few more points on the board for us and it puts a bigger gap between us and the others now.

"We have seven cup finals left and to help keep Stoke in the Premier League would be one of my all time great achievements."

The Potters welcome relegation rivals Newcastle United to the Britannia Stadium at the weekend and the former Sunderand midfielder knows three more points could be crucial towards their quest for survival.

"It is going to be a massive game and if we can get a result it can really affect where we are at the end of the season," he added.

"If we stay up it will top getting promoted in the first place.

"People have written us off since I have been at the Club it is up to us to prove them wrong every week and we are starting to do that now.

"It is time for us to push on if we are to stay up this season."
