Pardew - It's Not A Boxing Match

Alan Pardew is pleased to have a crack at Arsenal so soon after the defeat at Old Trafford.

Alan Pardew: "We came within a minute or so of claiming a point at Old Trafford, and this is an early opportunity address that.

"That's the beauty of football. It's not like a boxing match where you have to dwell on it for seven months before your promoter fixes you another one.

"We have got a game, so we can get over it, hopefully, with the right result."
