Selection headache for Pardew

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew faces a fresh selection headache ahead of tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League trip to Arsenal.

Midfielder Cheick Tiote returns from a one-match ban, but counterpart Vurnon Anita is out with an ankle injury sustained in the 4-3 defeat at Manchester United, while central defender Mike Williamson is suspended after collecting his fifth booking of the season at Old Trafford.
