Alan Pardew: "We are still the outsiders for the Champions League, purely because of the fixtures we have and the fixtures that Arsenal and Spurs have.
"We could win both games and still not get into the Champions League, which would hurt, but we are going to try to do that and hopefully Spurs or Arsenal slip up somewhere.
"Everybody has got tough games in the Premier League.
"There's no gimme in this division, so we have just got to try to win our games and see where we are."
