The Dutch boss sees Newcastle as a genuine threat to the top six this season and has warned his team to concentrate this afternoon.

"They are right behind us in the table, they are unbeaten in four games and they have shown many times already this season they have a lot of pace and ability on the counter-attack.
"Certainly it will be a test of our concentration because we know that if we lose the ball in the wrong area we can be punished.
"That is one of the lessons that we should have already taken from recent games."
