Alan Pardew: "They are important games because we have got no travelling, so it will be just like a midweek game for us and I don't see any problem in selecting a team.
"After Bordeaux's result against Bruges, it is everything on the line for Bruges probably in our game.
"That's a very important game in terms of the league and we need to win it.
"But I am well-armed. We could still suffer a couple of injuries between now and that game - who's to say we are not going to lose any more players?
"I am just fingers crossed that some are going to come back and we will be stronger."
Maritimo boss Pedro Martins: "It is open. Bruges lost to Bordeaux, so everything is open. We will go to Bruges to play a good game and to win, of course."
