Eddie Howe sends blunt Champions League warning to Liverpool as four-point gap opened

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has claimed his players are ready if the Champions League qualification battle goes down to the wire.

The Magpies fought back against Leeds United and came to within 15 minutes of completing the comeback at Elland Road until Rasmus Kristensen's deflected effort secured a much-needed point for the relegation-threatened side. Manchester United restored a four-point gap over Liverpool thanks to their 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of the Reds' trip to Leicester City on Monday.

Both Newcastle and Erik ten Hag's side will have played a game less by the end of the encounter at the King Power Stadium offering a slight advantage going into the final two games of the Premier League season.
