Newcastle winger Christian Atsu has joined teammate Jamaal Lascelles in warning Liverpool of a tough game on Saturday.
Liverpool will travel to St James’ Park tomorrow evening, with Jurgen Klopp’s men needing to win to keep their Premier League title hopes alive.
Manchester City have the title in their own hands providing they can win their two remaining Premier League games, but the Reds will be praying on a slip up against either Leicester City or Brighton.
And following comments made by Lascelles yesterday, where the Newcastle captain warned the Merseyside club that their final away Premier League tie of the season would be difficult, Atsu joined him in declaring that the Magpies wouldn’t roll over.
Talking to Mirror Sport, as cited by Goal, Atsu said:
Well if Liverpool think we are just going to roll over for them to ride on, then they are not ready to win the league.
We might be safe [from relegation] but we want to finish the season on a high.
And if anybody knows how the manager works, we will prepare for this game like we have prepared for all games this season – with the sole purpose of winning it.
We are in a good moment and we want to see it out very well.
