Alan Pardew: "Both of us could probably look each other in the eye and say we have done a decent job at Newcastle - so far on my part.

"On his part now, he has a different agenda, a different project, and a tough one because Norwich second year in have not really had too much investment in the team - it's tough.

"But they have got some good players and had some great results last season.

"It's a game that for us would probably put us in the top eight if we won, and that's obviously where we want to be.

"He deserves it [a good reception]. I don't think there will be one fan who would begrudge singing his name, or whatever the fans decide to do.

"Certainly on my side, I said when I won my award at the end of the year that I found in here a winning spirit and a good organisation.

"Obviously, I wasn't party to why he was taken away from the job, I just did what I do when I arrived."
