Liverpool warning hints at brilliant Newcastle mentality as first Premier League target revealed

Callum Wilson has warned Liverpool will 'regenerate' during the World Cup break as the Newcastle United star set his side the target of hitting 40 points before they start dreaming of Europe.

Newcastle are flying in fourth place following a superb start to the season. The in-form Magpies have won five of their last six games and have have only tasted defeat once this season, at Anfield, back in August. Newcastle are currently eight points clear of Liverpool in the table and even Reds boss Jurgen Klopp admitted last week that 'you cannot qualify for the Champions League if you play as inconsistent as we do at the moment'.

During the latest episode of the Footballer's Football podcast, presenter Rickie Haywood-Williams, a Liverpool fan, said to Wilson that it looked like 'you lot are taking our place in the top four'. However, Wilson, a senior figure in the Newcastle dressing room, is certainly not getting carried away, which bodes well for the Magpies as a whole as players and staff stay calm and block out the noise.
