Alan Pardew: “Hatem looks the sharpest one of our team and he will play and will cause them problems.
"Hatem and Hazard are slightly different players. Hatem is a different kind of player with the ball at his feet.
“He lulls defenders in and bursts through them while Hazard is more of a simpler player if I’m honest.
"I don’t want that to sound wrong but he finds the perfect pass. He knows when to turn, there is something very economical about him.
"He makes it look very easy like great players can.”
