Newcastle winger Christian Atsu has set his sights on back to back victories in their fight against relegation this season.

Rafa Benitez’s men are preparing for home games against Huddersfield on Saturday and Burnley on Tuesday.

And the Ghanaian international is optimistic about his side’s chances, “Every point’s very important for us now,” says Atsu.

The Magpies have picked up seven points from their last four Premier League games (W2 D1 L1), one more than they managed in their previous nine fixtures in the competition (W1 D3 L5).

Newcastle are one point above the bottom three in 16th place.
