Hull City chairman Paul Duffen says two wins will be enough to secure their Premiership place this season.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: "The win at Fulham took us another step closer to guaranteeing Premier League football next season, and I think 38 points will be enough for us.
"Two wins and we will be there so, by definition, Newcastle is a massive game for us because it is an opportunity to get half of the points we need."
The Tigers head into Saturday's clash with Newcastle at the KC Stadium sitting in 14th spot, five points above the relegation zone.
