Kieran Trippier says Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Arsenal cannot be allowed to impact Newcastle United’s push for a Champions League spot.
The Gunners were victors in a frantic clash at St James’ Park courtesy of goals from Martin Odegaard and a Fabian Schar on goal, though the Magpies remain third in the Premier League, but with in-form Liverpool lurking and just four games remaining.
Eddie Howe’s men travel to face struggling Leeds United at Elland Road in Saturday’s early kick-off, and will come up against former boss Sam Allardyce in what promises to be another feisty occasion, with the Elland Road side back in the bottom three after wins for Nottingham Forest and Everton on Monday.
