With Tim Krul set to play against Fiorentina today at St James’ Park in the final friendly of the summer, the Dutchman will feel he is in pole position.

Alan Pardew: “I’ll make a decision for the Arsenal game on Thursday, or whenever I need to make it.

“I need to give Tim another opportunity.

“Fraser’s played three, Harps has played two, and Tim’s played two.

“Sometimes in pre-season, I have played my best team in that final game, be it in the first half, or for the whole game.

“I’m not going to do it this time, because I’ve got players who need minutes, and there’s the goalkeeping situation.

“In every position everybody’s desperate to get into the team.”
