Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp insists Premier League survival remains his top priority, despite being tipped for a Champions League push.Redknapp knows excitable fans cannot help being swept away by a flood of inevitable euphoria after four straight wins, but he is keeping his top-flight life-belt on - and aiming no higher just yet than the 40-point safety mark.

He said: "What you have got to make sure first and foremost is getting those 40 points to stay in the league and that's my priority.

"I don't look further than the next game and that's Wigan away - it's a big game for us. Other people may have expectations but I take it as it is.

"I don't get carried away. What will be will be. Once you think you've arrived you are going to be in trouble.

"We've had a good little run - the Blackburn result, Burnley, Reading and now Fulham. They are four good wins on the spin and now we just have to keep it going.

"You can't take anything for granted, though. West Ham were relegated the year after I left even though they had (Paolo) di Canio, (Fredi) Kanoute, (Joe) Cole and (Michael) Carrick in their team. It's frightening. They were fantastic players.

"And we were talking at the training ground day morning just now about the time Birmingham were relegated even though we lost 5-0 at their place. They had a terrific team and murdered us that day. They still went down, though.

"I'm just looking to getting those 40 points first, nothing else, nothing at all."

Pompey emerged with credit but only two points when the fixture computer threw them in against last season's top four, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool directly after the opening game of the season at Derby.

But they have made a superb recovery to take maximum reward from the last four games and are just a point off the top four places themselves now.
