Derby County are giving themselves the best chance they can to avoid relegation from the Championship, according to boss John Eustace.

The Rams won 3-1 at West Brom on Monday to remain outside the Championship relegation zone on goal difference with two games of the season remaining.

"It was an amazing performance, I thought the lads were outstanding - we limited a really good footballing team to next to nothing really," Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.

"We've conceded some sloppy goals this season and the one we conceded was sloppy again but we have to remember (Sondre) Langas is playing with a knee injury and will need some big surgery in the summer so just to get him in the team at the moment is great."

Derby visit Hull City on Saturday with the Tigers only two points above the Rams before finishing their season at home to Stoke City.

"We want to make this club special again and make the fans know whoever puts on the shirt will sweat blood for this club - as long as we keep fighting we'll give ourselves the best chance we can," added Eustace.
