Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admits the coming weeks could make or break their survival push.
Howe has warned his players that forthcoming run of games - Liverpool (a), Manchester City (h), Manchester United (h), Everton (a) - could make or break their fight against relegation.
"I think this group of games coming up will be great tests to see the strength of our team, the strength of spirit and resolve," he said.
"If we can come out of this period in good health then that will really serve us well in what's coming up beyond this run so I think we will learn a lot in the next few games."
“I just want to see a collective improvement from the team. A grasping of ideas that we are trying to implement. They are going to be tested to the maximum in these games if you don't get every part of your organisation right."
