Taylor: Newcastle intent on improving on Man City loss

Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor is convinced the playing group will learn from their 3-1 loss to Manchester City last week.

The Magpies suffered their first defeat of the season at the Etihad Stadium but Taylor is confident that things will improve when they head back to Manchester to meet reigning champions United at Old Trafford on Saturday.

"The pressure will be on them and not us. We're going to go there and enjoy our football and try and improve on what we did at Man City," he told Sky Sports News.

"That was a test of what's to come and we did well, despite the defeat - but I think we can get better. Before the game we set out what we wanted to do and didn't get to do that.

"But we'll look back at Saturday's game and try to improve, and put those things right."
