Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu is confident ahead of his side's Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Rafa Benitez's men are desperate to return to winning ways after drawing 2-2 at Southampton last week.

And the 25-year-old Ghanaian is ready to take the fight to the Eagles.

'I think we deserved to win. It was unlucky that we drew 2-2. Now we are focused on the next game," Atsu told Chronicle Live.

'It was difficult. We knew they would have more possession, but we wanted to hit them on the counter.

'Two times we got them and scored two goals. It showed that we were a threat to them throughout the game.

'We will keep fighting and try to attack teams. 'We have Crystal Palace at home in front of our fans. We're confident.'

He added: 'I was getting treatment during the international break. After some time, I got better and was training with the team,' he said.
