Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson says the players are convinced of qualifying for Europe.

The Toon are still alive for qualification for the Europa Conference League.

"I feel like I've got a lot more to show than maybe what the fans have seen. I don't think they've seen the real me, really," he told the club's website. "I just want to sort of show them what they've missed when I've been out injured, and make a real difference to the team.

"We're really pushing to get those European places. The gaffer keeps showing us the few teams ahead of us and saying, 'can we catch these?' and over the past week or two, with the results we've had, we've really caught up to Manchester United and West Ham. We're just looking at each game and attacking it with everything we have, and seeing where it takes us. We've got a really good chance of getting Europe and we could have a strong finish to the season.

"I'm really happy - having that responsibility on your shoulders to try and help the team qualify for Europe is really exciting. It gives me a little buzz, really, and it's probably more enjoyable than coming back and having a comfortable position. It's the business time of the season. To be involved in these games is everything."
