Squad sheets: Newcastle United v Hull City
guardian
Crisis what crisis Alan Pardew is currently doing rather well for someone who was supposed to be a dead man walking. Newcastle have seven points from four games, are playing some pleasing attacking football and could gain further momentum here. As a former Sunderland manager, Hull's Steve Bruce a boyhood Newcastle fan can expect a particularly hot reception. Newcastle's Vurnon Anita, currently keeping Cheick Tioté benched, aims to impress once again. Louise Taylor
