The Magpies' only success in all competitions on the road to date came at Aston Villa on January 29.
Alan Pardew: "I will take a draw if it is a score draw because that means we will go through.
"We have had a lot of problems away from home because of a lack of availability, and we have those players back now and have increased size of the squad.
"Performances will get better hopefully, starting tomorrow.
"The linesman had an impact on the last game. He made two decisions we felt were wrong.
"But you have to accept officials get some decisions wrong. We accept that and now we have to get a win or score draw, which will be difficult because we know the opposition are a fine side."
