Luton Town midfielder Marvelous Nakamba is confident they can avoid relegation this season.

The newly promoted club are in the bottom three at present, along with Sheffield United and Burnley.

However, Nakamba takes solace from two great performances against Arsenal and Manchester City in recent games.

A positive Nakamba said, per Luton Today: “It's (City loss) difficult to take, unfortunately it was similar against Arsenal, but the positive thing I think, to go toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the world, it has to give us huge encouragement and positive thinking to take into our next game.

“As a club, as players, we just have to believe more and keep on encouraging each other especially here at home, with our fans behind us, we just have to believe more. I think the confidence is still there. When you perform like this at home, the confidence has to be there in each and every one inside the club.

"It's always good to play against the best. I have played against the best before in the Champions League, so I know of the quality, but to go toe-to-toe with them, this is what we wanted for the club, to be in the Premier League.

"We just have to keep going, giving everything, fighting for everything, the fans are 100 percent behind us, so it's up to us now to push maybe a little bit more extra.

"Personally I still believe, I'm a believer and hopefully soon we can get some results."
