Pardew, who guided West Ham to the final of the competition in 2006 only to see his side lose to Liverpool on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, wants a home tie when the draw is made on Sunday.
"The FA Cup is a very important competition for us, for the fans and for us as a group. We're a new team and we want to do well in the cup," Pardew told the club's official website.
"We will play a very strong side regardless of the draw and we're looking forward to seeing who we're going to be facing.
"I would like a home draw, it's important for us because we'll be looked at as a giant-killing whoever we draw.
"You don't really want to go away to a non-League ground that you don't know too much about as an away game is difficult in the FA Cup, whether you're Manchester United or Salisbury City."
