Pardew's desires for vengeance presuppose the continued presence of the Tyne-Wear competitors in next season's Premier League, something which is currently far from certain. Despite Sunday's popular victory, Sunderland stay only three points free from the fall zone with Newcastle just two points better off, and both still have a significant amount of work to do. Newcastle head for West Brom on Saturday, in which a repeat of last season's 3-1 success will be significantly more than welcome in the conditions. But, West Brom, who have taken only a single stage from their last three games, is going to be keen to handle that condition before their own fans. Pardew can at the least have a week to work with his people having seen most of them head off on international responsibility last month, and then have to balance the requirements of the Europa League quarter-final double-header against Benfica with category activities against Manchester City, Fulham and Sunderland. Which could prove especially very important to males such as Mathieu Debuchy, Cheick Tiote and Hatem Ben Arfa, who've missed out in recent days through damage. Indeed Ben Arfa's appearance as a substitute at the week-end was his second inside four days after just one in four months. Additionally, Pardew can aspire to have the ability to provide a brand new energy to the feet of Yohan Cabaye, Moussa Sissoko and Papiss Cisse, whose weariness is now increasingly apparent. Pardew said: "We truly can do a week's assist Hatem and Debuchy, who had his first game, and Cheick. We shall do more use him. "We can give an escape to some of another guys." (Edited by Giles Mole)
