Ghana and Newcastle United United winger Christian Atsu has revealed how to his side can defeat Leicester City over the weekend.

Atsu says the Magpies must play compact to stand a chance of securing a third successive away win in their matchday seven fixture.

Steve Bruce's side has won their previous two visits to the King Power Stadium in the Premier League.

Newcastle will be looking to return to winning ways following a disappointing goalless draw against Brighton at St James' Park.

He told the club's official website: "They are a very good team. They love to play from the back like the way Brighton did, so it's going to be a very difficult game also because we are playing away."

"We just need to stay compact and try to play our game. We just don't have to give them space on the ball."

The 26-year-old Ghanaian has become an integral part of the team after a slow start to the 2019/20 season.

The former FC Porto winger has started the last three games for Newcastle.
