Pardew looking forward to selecting Newcastle's best XI again

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew is excited about having a full complement of players to choose from for the first time since early January.

The Magpies host Wolves on Saturday and Pardew will be able to select his best line-up since the club defeated Manchester United 3-0 on January 4.

"Now I have my strongest squad to pick from since Man United," Pardew told The Chronicle.

"We have come through the period without our iconic players, with some fantastic results.

"We are hurt but we're still in a great position. We're looking forward.

"With everything said and done, that's got to be the objective on Saturday night - to be fifth in the table with a win. That's what we will work on between now and Saturday."
