Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has called on his side to show that they can be "the head of a mouse" as they prepare to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup.
Benitez used an old Spanish phrase to say the Magpies needed to show they could cope with the pressure of a challenge for promotion from the Championship.
They were beaten 2-0 by Wolves in the league on Saturday and now face them again as they try to make progress in the cup.
"Sometimes you prefer to be the tail of the lion or the head of the mouse," Benitez told a news conference.
