ALAN PARDEW has named the starting line-up which Chris Hughton would normally have selected to start life as Newcastle United manager today.[LNB]  [LNB] With Kevin Nolan recalled after injury and Danny Guthrie left out to accomodate Joey Barton, Pardew sprang no surprises when he announced his team to face Liverpool.[LNB] That means Sol Campbell and Steven Taylor continue at the heart of the defence, while Liverpool recall the fit again Fernando Torres in attack alongside David Ngog.[LNB] There were a few hundred fans protesting against the Mike Ashley regime before the match at St James' Park, but it seemed the majority were keen to see how things start under Pardew. [LNB] NEWCASTLE UNITED: Krul; Simpson, Taylor, Campbell, Enrique; Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Gutierrez; Ameobi, Carroll. Subs: Harper (gk), Guthrie, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Perch, Smith, Ranger.[LNB] LIVERPOOL (4-4-2): Reina; Johnson, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky; Kuyt, Lucas, Meireles, Rodriguez; Ngog, Torres. Subs: Jones (gk), Aurelio, Cole, Jovanovic, Babel, Poulsen, Kelly.[LNB]
