The Newcastle boss believes his side has what it takes to beat the league leaders.
Alan Pardew: “We think we’ve got a great chance. I know Alex will be looking at it and he will think it’s a really big game in their agenda.
"He’s got Arsenal at home and us away and he probably thinks they are two tough games which will have a massive bearing on their season.
“I think he will target it. He won’t come here resting players because the Premier League, not the FA Cup semi-final, is a priority. He will police that semi-final and if he can save players for Tuesday, or take someone off to protect players, he will.
“It will be a really tough team to beat.”
