Newcastle boss Howe eager to see Anderson in regular action

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is eager to see Elliot Anderson in regular action for the remainder of the season.

Anderson is now fully fit and available to Howe.

Howe said: "He is getting there, he looks stronger and more robust.

"He has trained well the last two weeks. He is a really talented player. I want to see him do well for the remainder of the season."

On catching seventh-place West Ham, he added: "We want to be closing that gap. They have done well, they are a dangerous team.

"We are back at home, we left on a good note in our last game against Wolves and we are desperate to carry that on again. This is a home game, expectation will be on us, so we will attack the game in the way we know we can."
