What the managers are saying

Rafael Benitez (Newcastle):“I have been very clear with the players that we have done nothing yet – we have to make sure we keep playing with the same intensity and attitude and mentality.“Every game is really important but obviously if you are close to some teams, if you can beat them and get the three points then it becomes even more important.“At the moment it is very important to to be sure our players and fans understand so everybody has got to stay in the same place and continue to push together.”3

Rafa Benitez will hope Newcastle can continue their excellent form

Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham):“For me there is always pressure,” he said. “It is exactly the same.“I never divide the games into ones you can win or ones you can lose, because we only try to win.“We’ve had good games against big teams, and played not so well against teams around us, so it is important to have a strong mind and understand that every game is difficult.“Our mentality is to understand there are no weaker teams and we have to play our best at all times.“Newcastle started the season badly, but they have a good team, and maybe their position now in the table is more realistic for the squad they have.”
