Brunt looking up

West Brom skipper Chris Brunt is targeting a top 10 finish to the Barclays Premier League season ahead of the clash at Tottenham. The Baggies suffered their first defeat in seven games under new coach Roy Hodgson when beaten 3-1 at home by Chelsea last weekend. Brunt believes one more win should be sufficient to ensure Albion earn a second successive season in the top flight. But the Northern Ireland international has higher ambitions and hopes Spurs' midweek derby with Arsenal will have taken its toll physically. Brunt said: "I think one more win should be enough. It's tough to put a number on it this season because, over the last few seasons, we'd have been safe three or four weeks ago with our points tally. It's a strange season but it's important for us to keep picking up positive results. "Since the new manager has come in, we've only lost one game and it would be nice to try and keep that going towards the end of the season. The higher you finish up the league, the better for the football club as well."
