Stoke star Jack Butland says Premier League top-half finish possible despite tough ties against relegation fighters

Stoke City have the quality to win their next few matches and ensure they finish the season strongly, goalkeeper Jack Butland has said.

The Potters, who have finished in the top half of the Premier League table in each of the last three seasons, are currently 11th with five games to play and ended a four-match losing streak beating Hull City 3-1 on Saturday.

They are one point outside the top half, having played one game more than 10th-placed Watford and two more than ninth-placed Southampton, who they face in the final game of the season.
