Newcastle star Christian Atsu has issued a warning to Liverpool and has insisted his team won't roll over for Liverpool as they chase their first ever Premier League title.
Man City and Liverpool are still slugging it out at the top of the table at an unprecedented level in one of the most tense title races in recent memory.
City currently sit top of the pile by a single point but Liverpool can once again leapfrog them to the summit with a victory at St. James' Park on Saturday evening.
The win would pile the pressure on City, who don't play until Monday night when they face Leicester City at the Etihad but if the Reds slip up then they would hand Pep Guardiola's side a massive advantage.

A trip to Newcastle may not be easy, either.
The Magpies have improved considerably in the second half of the season and have won five of their last 10 games.
They're a defensively resilient side and have developed a dangerous attacking force in Ayoze Perez and Solomon Rondon. Not to mention the added intrigue of Liverpool hero Rafa Benitez being the man in charge.
Newcastle have already secured their Premier League safety but Atsu says that Newcastle will still play to their utmost and make it difficult for Liverpool.

"Well if Liverpool think we are just going to roll over for them to ride on then they are not ready to win the league," the Ghanaian winger told Mirror Sport.
"We might be safe but we want to finish the season on a high and, if anybody knows how the manager works, we will prepare for this game like we have prepared for all games this season - with the sole purpose of winning it.
"We are in a good moment and we want to see it out very well."
