Stoke City<\/a>.<\/p>\nPardew is aware of the aerial threat of the home side and has pointed to the danger they pose from set pieces with tall, physical players like Robert Huth.<\/p>\n
“He Huth is particularly forceful for them, particularly at set plays,\u201d Pardew told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
The Newcastle manager admits that he intends to set his team up accordingly to counter the threat and has hinted that he will be naming a defence-minded team.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cYou have to be wary of your match selection that you can cope, and there\u2019s not that many teams who can go there with their normal team and be able to dominate.<\/p>\n
“Someone like Manchester United may be able to but can we do that?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we will make sure we defend those set plays because they will be coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pardew believes his Newcastle side will face a difficult challenge in Saturday’s game but insists that although he is concentrating on defending well, he expects his side not to forget their attacking duties.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a tough game Stoke have found some great form,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe job Tony Pulis has done there and the way they play make it very difficult for you.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pitch is small, so their set plays become more accurate and that is something you have to cope with.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will make sure that we can handle their strengths and then play our own game.\u00a0 We can\u2019t get to distracted by that.\u201d<\/p>\n
