This might well be the most important selection decision Alan Pardew has made so far this season for Newcastle: his side sit on the brink of a third Premier League victory in a row, he's got new selection issues thanks to the performances of back-up players against Man City, and he can welcome new players back. He also needs to make a statement: both the Spurs and City results came from direct play and fearless attacking (just as the match-winning goal against Leicester), but Pardew's style usually means more defensive play designed to contain. So it's not just his selection that requires some thinking.
