Newcastle United fullback Jose Enrique admits he's a fan of Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant.

The pair go head-to-head today at St James' Park.

Enrique said: "Jermaine Pennant is quick and strong. When he played for Liverpool I played against him, and he was very good.

"Now he's at Stoke on loan and we'll have to stop him. He's like Aaron Lennon and Theo Walcott. He can worry us with his pace.''
