Andy Carroll worried about facing Newcastle United

Andy Carroll admits that he has pre-game jitters ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash with Newcastle United on Sunday.

Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has admitted that he is "nervous" about returning to the North East when the Reds take on Newcastle United on Sunday.

The 23-year-old, who moved to Anfield for £35m last January, will go up against his former club at the Sports Direct Arena with Liverpool eight points behind the Magpies in the Premier League.

"I don't usually get nervous but this might be a bit different," Carroll told The Telegraph. "All of my family and friends will be there but they're so big on football that I'm not sure who they'll be supporting.

"It's great to see Newcastle doing so well. Obviously I support them, was brought up there and was lucky enough to play for them. They will always mean something."

Carroll has had a difficult season at the Merseyside club and is not guaranteed a starting spot for this weekend's fixture after being left out of Kenny Dalglish's first XI for the Reds' last two games.
