'This is a team who fully believe they are good enough to be in the Premier League'

Winger Andros Townsend said Luton Town "fully believe they are good enough to be in the Premier League" after recent results.
The Hatters head into the international break third from bottom and three points from safety, but on the back of impressive performances against Liverpool and Manchester United.
"I think that’s what got Luton to the Premier League and hopefully what will get Luton to survive in the Premier League," Townsend told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club about the club's belief.
"The good thing I have noticed is that confidence is growing. This is a group who now believe they are good enough to be in the Premier League.
"You saw that against Liverpool, how the confidence grew throughout the game. You’re in the dressing room after the game and you’ve taken a point off Liverpool but everyone was devastated not to take three points. That shows how far this group has come.
"Again, in the dressing room at Old Trafford after narrowly losing 1-0, everyone was distraught. It just shows this is a team now who fully believe they are good enough to be in the Premier League.
"After the international break, there are some games - I won’t say winnable - but games we need to win if we are to stay up. Hopefully we can take that confidence from the past two games into games moving forward."
