Pardew to ring changes for United clash

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is likely to draft a quartet of big names back into his starting line-up for Sunday’s Barclays Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Defender Davide Santon, midfielders Jonas Gutierrez and Hatem Ben Arfa and striker Demba Ba were all rested for last night’s 3-0 Europa League victory over Bordeaux, which saw full-back Danny Simpson return from a hamstring injury.
