Greening looking to open points gap

West Brom's Jonathan Greening has warned his team-mates that Newcastle have quality throughout their side despite off field problems.

West Brom travel to St James Park tonight looking to bounce back after conceding seven goals in their last two outings but Greening has warned just because things are going wrong off the field for Newcastle they still have plenty of quality on it.

He also sees tonight's game as an opportunity to put some distance between the Baggies and the relegation places.

"I think Newcastle are on four or five points and if we play well and get three points we will create a gap from us to the bottom three," Greening told the Mail.

"That's what we're aiming to do.

"They are near to the bottom of the league and our main aim now is to stay in the Premier League.

"So the bigger gap we create between us and them the better.

"The chairman is trying to sell the club and they are in a bit of turmoil but they still have world class players throughout the team.

"They've got some very good players so we need to be on top of our game to get a good result."
