Cheick Tiote has claimed that Newcastle United can finish in the top four at the end of the season.

Despite being sixth in the Premier League table, the Magpies are just a point off the Champions League places.

"I think we have a good chance to finish in the top four," Tiote told The Sun. "We're a point behind Chelsea and Arsenal and have everyone back in the squad.

"Demba Ba is back and, if we keep playing like we do, we can stay in the top four."

Newcastle host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league later today (Saturday).
