Struggling Newcastle United are ready to face Brighton on Saturday, according to Magpies defender Federico Fernandez.
Times are tough in the north east with the Magpies in the relegation zone and without a win for the season.
But Fernandez is confident they can turn things around against the Seagulls at St. James' Park
"It's a massive game. We know they are a good team, very organised and disciplined," Fernandez said ahead of United's clash with Brighton.
"We have been analysing them, and they have pace up front, particularly with their wingers, and they have good strikers, too.
"For us, we need to be patient with the ball, try to find the space, don't concede many free-kicks or corners because they are quite strong in the air.
"It's a game that I hope we can take the three points from because we need them - and we are ready to now after a tough start."
