Newcastle United's Moussa Sissoko "confident" of Premier League safety

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko says that he is "confident" that the team will avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko is "confident" that the team will retain their Premier League status under manager Rafael Benitez.

The North-East outfit are currently second from bottom in the table, three points from safety with eight games left to play.

Benitez, who was appointed as Steve McClaren's successor earlier this month, has recorded one defeat and one draw.

"We are a really good team," Sissoko told Sky Sports News. "We need to show it on the pitch, so we have a massive game against Norwich City away. It's a final for us, so we will go there and give it everything and hopefully come back with three points.

"We all know [Benitez] is a good manager. He has a lot of experience with a lot of teams. He came here to help us stay in the Premier League and I am confident we will do it and we will start on Saturday."

Newcastle have won just six of their 30 league games this season.
