Carver v Pardew
Newcastle head coach John Carver goes up against ex-manager Alan Pardew tonight!
Newcastle United travel to Crystal Palace, just over a month since Pardew left the club.
Carver’s admitted the pair are still friends and that Pardew knows their side inside out, he’s also got Newcastle’s former analyst with him at the London side.
He said: “Let’s not forget this is not all about Alan.”
But is it? Since going to Crystal Palace Alan Pardew has won five games out of a possible six, in that time Newcastle have won just once.

Meanwhile Siem De Jong will be out for eight weeks after having surgery for a collapsed lung.
He said: "It's very sad for me personally, especially since I was almost back in contention and feeling great. I'm sorry for my teammates, the Club and our fans that I'm not able to help the team for a little while longer.
"I am determined to come back stronger as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone for your support."
