After a difficult start to the season, back-to-back wins have seen Newcastle move six points above the relegation zone and within touching distance of the top half of the table.

However, manager Rafa Benitez is determined for his players not to get too far ahead of themselves and still views survival as the main goal.

He said: "Three or four weeks ago we were thinking it would be very, very difficult, now we are starting to talk about, 'Maybe you can finish 10th'.

"It is, for me, very clear - we have to stay calm, we have to go there, try to get three points and if we can, fine, if we cannot, carry on.

"I have said in a lot of interviews that the Fulham game, the last one of the season, will be the most important - hopefully not, but we have to make sure that we continue doing things in the same way that we are doing already."
