PSV striker Mateja Kezman believes that his side can sweep aside the Magpies' to book a place in the UEFA Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night, but Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given is ready for the big test.

KEZMAN vs GIVEN

Kezman netted a hat-trick for his club against Groningen at the weekend, and said: "I'm almost sure we'll make the semi-finals.

"We're in good form and have a lot of confidence."

Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given however is out to stop Kezman. He is preparing for the big game against PSV Eindhoven and is confident.

PSV threw away a lead at home in the first leg of the Quarter Finals, and Given expects them to do the same at St James' Park.

"We know we have to finish off the tie but it is far from over," said the United 'keeper.

"We saw what they can do on the break and we'll have to be at our best to beat them in the second leg."

Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson will be tempted to field an unchanged line-up against his old club PSV Eindhoven.

There have been no new injury concerns following the 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

PSV however, will be missing winger Arjen Robben, Andre Ooijer and Kevin Hofland.
