... defender Mike Williamson saying: "After the fabulous results against Chelsea and Tottenham, I won't change a winning team."
But with Williamson convinced he will be in the starting line-up, Pardew seems to be having a rethink.
Alan Pardew: “We’ve also got Steven Taylor and Sadio (Massadio Haidara) available, so there’s real competition in the back four which I didn’t have two or three weeks ago.
“As I say, the picture is great today, but the picture needs to be really, really good on Tuesday with three points in the bag.
“It’s no good me talking it up. My message to fans is not to be complacent as well and think we’re going to win.
“They need to give us the backing that they can. If we can respond to that, we’ll find ourselves in a good position.
“We’ve got everybody fit with the exception of Paul Dummett, who probably isn’t available for this particular game."

MAGPIES IN EUROPE -
HARVEY TO PARDEW
Although NUFC are not talking to the Chronicle or Sunday Sun ... we are!
And the full story is expected to be in newspapers this week.
The official new title is "Magpies In Europe - Harvey To Pardew" and is an up-dated version of "From Antwerp To Zurich" - which includes the 14 Europa League fixtures we played last season.
The 280-page book features match reports from the 134 European matches Newcastle United have played, starting with the memorable 4-0 win over Feyenoord in 1968 on our European debut.
Included are stats and the figures you would expect, but also each away fixture has the remarkable experiences of individuals who travelled to watch the matches.
Introduction by "Big Bad" John McNamee, part of the Fairs Cup winning team of 1969.
It is a fascinating history that every Newcastle United fan will enjoy.
And with a limited print-run, make sure you order a copy.
