Newcastle boss Pardew counting on Ireland for Wolves showdown

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is ready to field Stephen Ireland next week.

Ireland hasn't played since arriving on-loan in January from Aston Villa.

Pardew still hopes to unleash the Aston Villa loan star - recovering from a thigh injury - in the clash with Wolves next Saturday.

He said: "Stephen becomes a key figure in the last eight games. We think he'll be available for Wolves."
