Jamaal Lascelles is ready to do all he can to keep Newcastle United up.

Second-bottom Newcastle are still two points adrift of safety with four games left ahead of Rafa Benitez's return to Liverpool on Saturday.

Lascelles said: “I just try and do my best for the team, I keep trying my hardest and that's all I can do.

“I like to communicate to others and boss people about, because I think that's what we've lacked and that's what we've needed.

“I'm there to boss people about, to make sure everyone's doing their jobs and keep on at everybody, and I think it's working. Having that fight and passion counts for a lot."
