Matt Holland has set Ipswich Town a target of eight more wins to stay in the Premiership.

The Blues skipper reckons a 25-point haul should be enough to maintain top-flight status, following Boxing Day's 2-0 triumph against Leicester.

He said: "We've given our chances of staying up a big boost.

"We hope something in the region of 25 points either in the form of eight wins or wins and draws should be good enough.

"And we believe we can get points from our next two games against Sunderland and Charlton."

Ipswich hauled themselves off the bottom thanks to success against the Foxes, earned through goals by Marcus Bent and Sixto Peralta.
