Jose Enrique is expecting a tough clash for Liverpool against Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Saturday.
The Reds must beat Eddie Howe's side as they sit one point behind league leaders Manchester City.
Enrique, who played for both clubs, told Lord Ping: "It's going to be a very difficult game for both sides. Newcastle are chasing top 10, which is crazy considering their situation in January before Eddie signed the players he wanted with more to come in the summer.
"I think football is about the mentality of players, as well as their ability and physical attributes, and at the moment Newcastle believe in themselves a lot so it's going to be a very, very tough game for Liverpool.
"I don't think there'll be many goals, I hope Liverpool get the three points and I think Liverpool will win 2-1. Newcastle are playing with confidence but Liverpool are where they are, they're one of the best teams in the world so I think they'll win."
