Cole Palmer talking about the challenge of facing Newcastle United at St James’ Park:

“Every game this season has been tough and we will expect another one at Newcastle..

“Obviously we know what our aim is and it will be the same for them.

“Newcastle is a big game for us, we know what the stadium is like.

“They are in a Champions League spot as well, so it’ll be a tough game, but we are going there to win.

Hopefully, we can do that.

“We need to go there, be brave, and stick together. If we go there and aren’t confident in our approach, then we won’t get a result. So, we will need to be on it.”
