Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor believes Newcastle United can surprise in this season's Champions League.

Agbonlahor says St James' Park will be a factor in the campaign.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: I look at the group of players and I feel like they're going to be able to handle it.

"I feel like you speak to players and you hear players talk about the atmosphere at St James' Park, these European teams go in there you know you used to say back in the day about going away in Europe and you couldn't handle the atmosphere?

"You go to Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, that atmosphere? I feel like Newcastle, St James' Park tops the Premier League for atmosphere and it wouldn't surprise me if they won every home game in their group in the Champions League."
