Norwich match a final for Newcastle - Sissoko
This weekend's Premier League clash between Norwich City and Newcastle United has been described by Moussa Sissoko as "a final".
Moussa Sissoko insists Newcastle United are good enough to stay in the Premier League and must show their quality against Norwich City on Saturday, a game he describes as "a final".
Newcastle are 19th with eight games to play, but could climb out of the relegation zone with a big win at Carrow Road.
Rafael Benitez's side also have a game in hand over Norwich, but Sissoko called for Newcastle to improve their performance levels after five top-flight matches without a win.
"We are a really good team. We need to show it on the pitch, so we have a massive game against Norwich away," Sissoko told Sky Sports News.
"It's a final for us, so we will go there and give it everything and hopefully come back with three points.
"We all know [Benitez] is a good manager. He has a lot of experience with a lot of teams.
"He came here to help us stay in the Premier League and I am confident we will do it and we will start on Saturday."
