Newcastle United defender Federico Fernandez believes his side can get a positive result against Brighton.

The Magpies are winless after eight Premier League games, putting them bottom of the league.

Brighton are first up after the international break, giving Newcastle a great chance to get back to winning ways.

And Fernandez believes they can get it done.

"Our best form has probably been away, although we were OK at home in a couple of games," Argentina international Fernandez said to local media at Benton.

"The thing is that we are in a good shape defensively, but we need to improve more with the ball.

"We have to try to be in a good moment and start to win some games, starting with Brighton."
