Lambert: We will fight to survive

Stoke manager Paul Lambert said his side are "in with a fight" for Premier League survival when they resume their relegation battle on Sunday.

Stoke take on Arsenal at the Emirates following the international break and Lambert's side are on a run of seven league games without a win.

When asked how important match against Arsenal will be in Stoke's bid for survival, Lambert said: "Every bit as big as the Huddersfield game when I first came in.

"I view them as important as everything else. It is not down beat or anything like that but I am going to fight. As long as you fight you have a chance and that's what you do, you keep fighting for it.

"It is a tough game but I know we are more than capable of winning and that's the mindset I'll have when we go down there.

"It is a really tough game, the next couple of games are tough, but I can see that right through the seven games. But we are in with a fight."

Stoke sit 19th in the Premier League, three points behind 17th-placed West Ham.

"Obviously nobody wants to be in that position but we should have had more points than we've got," Lambert added.

"We've had no luck which you need in football and as a team, you need a bit of luck to go your way.

"Individual errors have cost us in certain games but the performance level of the team I couldn't ask anymore from them."

Stoke do not have a favourable away record against Arsenal, losing their last 15 games, but Lambert, who replaced new Southampton manager Mark Hughes in January, is not phased by their form.

"It is a really tough place to go, I am fortunate enough to have won there myself and I know what it is like to win there, lose and draw there," he said.

"I'm new to this club, what happened in the past isn't of interest to me."

Stoke did manage a 1-0 victory over Arsene Wenger's side earlier in the season at the bet365 Stadium, with Jese Rodriquez scoring the only goal.

Sad!!!! Corp member falls from moving commercial bus in Lagos.

At about 9:45pm on 15/04/19 a corp member fell from a moving commercial bus (danfo) along LASU-ISHERI road Lagos. He sustained severe head injury and was lying by the road side. A few eye witnessed at the scene of the incident assisted in driving him down to a nearby hospital at (Alimosho General hospital, Igando) where he was given first aid treatment. He was thereafter referred to LASUTH for further medical management that same night due to the nature of the injury he sustained. However, no one has been unable to contact the relatives or friends. Mobile phone on him can't be accessed (passworded) and has no means of identification on him. We hope the young man recovers fast from the severe head injury sustained during the ugly incident. Anyone with useful information about the victim should please contact the relatives or the Lagos State NYSC secretariat or call 09092377729.
