Anthony Gordon has warned Newcastle United that they must maintain the pressure on Liverpool throughout the 90 minutes if they are to upset the Premier League leaders at St James' Park on Wednesday night. The two sides meet with the Reds nine points clear at the top of the table after beating Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday.
The Magpies have yet to find consistency in their form this season but boast a win and a draw when facing title challengers Arsenal and Man City at St James' Park.
And Gordon, who was subject to interest from Liverpool in the summer, says the key for Eddie Howe's side is to keep up the pressure right up until the final whistle, no matter what happens in the early stages of the game.

In the same fixture last season, Newcastle found themselves ahead after Gordon scored and Virgil van Dijk was sent off, only for Darwin Nunez to net twice in the dying minutes to secure victory for the Reds.
Gordon told NUTV: "We need to start like we always do at St James'. Put them under pressure, really go for them and maintain the performance."
"The thing is with teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and City is if we do score, if we do go behind, we have got to understand that the game is not over. You just have to keep going right until the very end because those teams come and come again.
"That's their main strength. They create so many chances but to be fair against Arsenal and City, we did that very well. We conceded early against City and kept going until the end.
"We scored early against Arsenal and kept going until the end and got two great results so, hopefully, it will be more of the same against Liverpool."
