NUFC travel to London this weekend to take on Chelsea in the English Premier League and the Magpies have their tails up after beating Man United in their last league match.
The Toons have so far picked up only eight points form the first 8 matches in the league which is why no one is really giving them any hopes of beating Chelsea.
But they have already managed to cause upsets against teams like Spurs and Man United and Jamaal Lascelles believes they can cause an upset at the Bridge as well.
The NUFC captain believes Chelsea have been playing with a young side this season and their lack of experience could be a big asset from the travelling side this Saturday.
The defender told the club’s official website: “They’re a young side with not much experience in there. We’ve been working really hard this week and we’re looking forward to it. It’s going to be a tough game but we do fancy our chances.
“We’re still going off the last game. We beat Man United at home and there’s no reason why we can’t beat Chelsea.
“We’ve still got the confidence from the last game and hopefully, we can go and do the same job.
“It’s not very consistent but it is pleasing that we can beat these big teams,
“Over the course of the season, the games we have been losing to teams like Norwich, we need to sort that out but it gives us confidence that we can beat these big teams and playing Chelsea at the weekend, we are full of confidence going into that.
“The manager has drilled into us about a game plan. Both times against those teams, it has worked.
“It’s about sticking to the game plan and giving it our all. Both of those games, we were fiery and really passionate.
“I think that’s always how we need to play whereas against Brighton and Norwich, it wasn’t the same. We need to play with the same energy levels, heart and aggression as we did against Man United and Tottenham.”
If NUFC can manage to pick up even a point this weekend vs the Blues then surely it will be a big boost for Steve Bruce’s side since their next few games are supposed to be tough contests against the likes of Wolves and West Ham United.
