Jonas Gutierrez has claimed that Newcastle United must win when they take on local rivals Sunderland next Sunday.

The Magpies go into the clash at the Sports Direct Arena having squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

"We lost two points, so we were upset about the result, but now we have to focus on the next game," said Gutierrez. "Of course that's a game that stands out. It's something completely different compared to any other game in the Premier League.

"We know what the fans expect from this game - they don't care if you play well, just about the three points.

"We are at home, so we have to take the three points because yesterday, we lost two, so we have to get the win next week."

Newcastle, who are currently sixth in the Premier League table, won the reverse fixture at the Stadium of Light 1-0 earlier in the season.
