Alan Shearer suggested that he is “convinced” that Newcastle United will survive relegation with a result against Aston Villa to secure a place clear of the bottom three.

The Magpies need to come up with at least a draw and hope that other results go in their favor when Hull tackle Manchester United and Sunderland face Chelsea. Mathematically Newcastle, Hull, Sunderland and Middlesbrough, all have a chance to avoid relegation.

When asked by NUFC TV the Magpies manager was full of confidence and showed no hesitation that his side can avoid relegation and stay at the top flight for another season.

Speaking to NUFC TV, Shearer said “I’m convinced,”

“I’m 100% confident that we can get out of this.|Shearer Convinced Newcastle United Will Survive Relegation Battle”

“I’ve had a good response from the players this week and we have one last chance to save ourselves.”

“We have to forget about last Saturday (against Fulham) and the previous 37 games.”

“It’s all about Sunday and that’s all that matters.”

“I believe my players will handle the pressure because it promises to be a nervy affair.

“But will go into it fighting and we’ll be giving it everything we’ve got.”
