Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has called on teammates to shake off their form slump after defeat at Newcastle United.
The Merseysiders lost 1-0 at St James' Park on Saturday as their lack of cutting edge without the departed Luis Suarez and the injured Daniel Sturridge was exposed once again.
Henderson told liverpoolfc.com: "They are two big games, two games to show that we can score goals and defend better.
"We'll look forward to that still. We'll work hard during the week and put in two good performances, hopefully, against two top teams."
