Ipswich Town legend John Wark believes his former club can stay up in the Premier League this season.

The Tractor Boys are playing in the top flight for the first time in 22 years but, despite the competition in the division, Wark is confident Kieran McKenna can steer them to safety.

"Yes," was his response when asked whether Ipswich will stay up in the BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily and he added: "I would take right now finishing fourth bottom."

Fellow former Ipswich player Kieron Dyer shared that optimism, saying: "I feel that we are going to finish ahead of Leicester and Southampton but it's just if we can rein another one in.

"I think it is going to be very difficult but I have underestimated the club and the team too many times.

"They have got a great chance."
