Striker Mido is confident we are back to our their best after our slow domestic start to the season.

“Everyone was saying we got off to a bad start to the season but now we’re only three points away from being third, so we’re not far,” said Mido.

On the upcoming fixture against Newcastle, Mido said: “We did very well against Manchester City, we have to look at that and try to do the same against Newcastle,”

“They have a very good squad with some quality players, and when they play at home they are very strong.

“There’s a great atmosphere up there, so we know it will be a tough game but hopefully we can get a result like we did against City.”
