Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says he’s optimistic the team can shock Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on January 1st.
Recall that Newcastle will face the Reds on the back of a home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
However, in a chat with the Club’s official website, Howe insisted that the team must find their best form and mentally be very strong for the game.
“We’ve had a couple of painful games against Liverpool but the positives from both of those games is that we’ve performed really well and we were competitive. We need to be near perfect in this game. The challenge for us is to find our best form and mentally be very strong.

“There was some really good bits (against Forest), especially in the first half where we could have put the game to bed at times. Some frustrating moments as well, highlighted by the goals which were uncharacteristic for us.
“That’s disappointing as I thought the game was there for us to win but we have to learn from those moments and come back stronger.
“We have tough games coming up but they’re games we relish. We’re not daunted by it, we will attack it and give it our best shot. Recent results have been a challenge for us and the last couple of performances haven’t been as good as they can be so we’re determined to get back and produce our best football.”
