Pardew eager to test Newcastle kids against Man City

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says he's deliberately building a new, young team.

Against Manchester City in the Capital One Cup, Pardew will give more youngsters a chance in the clash tonight with the likes of Adam Armstrong, Ayoze Perez and Sammy Ameobi all in contention.

"This team needs my help.

"They are a young team.

"As much criticism as I have had, I've also had some great backing.

"We've got young players who are learning their trade and I'm learning about them."
