Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham says the players know how close they are from staying up.

The Cherries meet Leeds United on Sunday.

Mepham told the Daily Echo: That's exactly what the manager said at the end of the game.

We are so close now. Credit to us, we've put ourselves in an unbelievable position. I think that's our third away win in a row now.

We've done our bit. We just need to keep pressing, get us over the line on Sunday hopefully.

I think the last thing we would want now is complacency. There are still lots of points up for grabs.

We want to finish as high as possible and the relegation fight isn't done yet. We go into Sunday wanting to win and hopefully we can get over the line then."

He added: It's not done yet. Until it's mathematically impossible for us to go down, we will still be fighting for every point.

Sunday is no different. We will approach it like we do every game, which is wanting to win and hopefully we can get a result on Sunday."
