Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles has promised Liverpool that they will face a tough evening at St James’ Park on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s men travel to Tyneside with the aim to continue their fight with Manchester City for the Premier League title, and the Reds need to win to keep their hopes alive.
City currently lead by a single point, with both sides having just two games left in the current campaign.
And Newcastle captain Lascelles hopes to ruin the club’s title hopes at St James’ Park, and has promised the Reds that the game will not be a walkover.
As reported by the Chronicle, speaking ahead of Saturday’s game, Lascelles said:
We normally do finish [the season] off strongly [at St James’ Park].
Last season we beat Chelsea 3-0, so we do normally finish off strong. They [Liverpool] will obviously be playing for the title, so they will be flying.
It won’t be like the Chelsea game, where I think they were done and they weren’t really playing well.
But we are going to make it tough, we are going to go for the win, and we want to keep going until the very last game of the season.
We are going to make it tough for them. They probably know that themselves. It is not a nice fixture to come here, especially with our recent home form.
