Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he's a fan of Stoke City's wingers.

The Toon face Stoke tonight.

Pardew said: "Stoke have got very good players. They've got Matty Etherington who was outstanding for me at West Ham.

"He's a player I really like, he's had a few personal battles that have been well documented. They've got Pennant on the other side, who's another really, really good wide player.

"They play with two wingers, there's not many in the Premier League who do that.

"You've got to be a strong team to play with two wide players and two strikers."
