Alan Pardew: “From what I have seen, sometimes the results do not reflect the performances.

“Fulham’s performances have been very strong and they have very good players. They will have another strong season.

“They are a good defensive unit and they are playing a little bit more expansively under Martin Jol, so that is a little tweak on their style. We are tweaking our style a bit as well.

“We have not got it as I want it yet, but Yohan Cabaye probably had his best game on Thursday night and was starting to influence things for us and making us look a bit different.

“I think both managers, myself and Martin, will be looking at our side and looking for fatigue around the 60, 70-minute mark and maybe we will need to freshen the team up.

“I think we will both use 14 players.

“You have to remember it is a squad game in the Premier League and the other competitions you are in.

“Our squad has come through with flying colours in the first three and now we have a big game tomorrow.

“I think we had it a lot tougher at Scunthorpe than Fulham did against Dnipro. I have not seen their game, but I am guessing that."
