Alan Pardew: “We actually played very well that night.
“I think they were fortunate to win.
"Having said that, we are a lot stronger now.
"We’ve got a lot more creativity in the team, and power.
“You have to be prepared for what they deliver.They are very strong at set plays, one of the strongest in the division.
“On the upside for us is our pace, movement and creativity. That’s what we’ve got to lean on if we’re going to win.
"It’s our game plan against theirs really. Hopefully we can cope with theirs and they struggle to cope with our structure.”
