Harry Redknapp believes Tottenham Hotspur are two wins away from Barclays Premier League survival.
Spurs have taken 33 points from 21 matches since Redknapp took charge and after recovering from their poor start, they are now six points clear of the drop zone and within touching distance of safety.
Redknapp said: "How many points needed to survive? I spoke to Peter Storrie at Portsmouth and he was talking about 42 points to me and that is a bit frightening. I don't see you'll need 42 points.
"When the pressure comes on it gets very difficult for some teams. It could still take 39 points, something around that mark."It's two wins for us. For some teams you are talking about six wins. West Brom probably need another 16-17 points.
"We've just got to keep trying to win games. Every manager apart from the top four - plus Aston Villa, Everton and West Ham - will be looking over their shoulder."
Redknapp added: "Every year someone goes into freefall but also every year someone pulls out of it when things look bleak.
"I was at Portsmouth two or three years ago when we looked at trying to get 20 more points with 10 games to go after I think we only had 16 or 17 all year.
"We managed it. West Ham have done something similar. Fulham did it last year."
The Spurs manager also has his sights on making a late push for Europe after seeing his side climb to 11th in the table with their weekend win at Aston Villa.
They are now only five points off seventh place - currently held by West Ham United - and that will now secure a Europa League spot unless Everton win the FA Cup and finish outside the top six themselves.
He added: "I would love to finish seventh. We're playing so well in recent weeks and there's no reason we can't keep pushing up the table now."
However, Redknapp dismissed reports he had claimed Tottenham would be challenging for the top four next season.
He said: "To break into the top four is very difficult. They're on another level still, in my opinion.
"I certainly didn't say I see us being a top four club next year. I wouldn't put myself under that kind of pressure."
