Pardew: 'I'll shake Wenger's hand in rematch'
Alan Pardew has vowed to offer the hand of friendship to Arsene Wenger before kick-off in Charlton's match at The Emirates stadium tomorrow night - but insisted he will not shirk a touchline celebration should his new side bag another late winner against Arsenal.
Pardew almost came to blows with Wenger over his fist-clenching rejoicing as former club West Ham beat Arsenal courtesy of Marlon Harewood's 89th-minute goal last month.
The pitch side fracas continued after the match when Wenger refused to shake Pardew's out-stretched hand while both managers were charged with "improper conduct" by the Football Association.
Pardew apologised immediately after the game for any offence caused but, unlike Wenger who accepted a £10,000 fine from the FA, will protest his innocence at a displinary hearing this Thursday.
And Pardew insisted he will be his normal animated self at Ashburton Grove, rejecting suggestions it may be better to direct his team from the stands.
He said: "I have been accused of over-exuberance in the past, with my celebrations - I'm up in court for that! I like to be close to the action, because I like to feel the game. I think it's important to get a sense of what the players are feeling."
"Some managers think it might be for some other reason, but I genuinely want to feel what they're feeling on the pitch. The atmosphere can be different 15 yards from the edge, compared to right on the edge.
"I'll just do my normal thing on the sideline, trying to urge my team on, trying to get a feel for what's going on tactically - right close to the action, rather than sitting in the stand, where I never really feel comfortable.
And while the technical areas are further apart at Arsenal's new home than at Upton Park, the scene of his fall-out with Wenger, Pardew admitted it would be difficult to keep his emotions in check should new side Charlton continue their bid to escape the drop zone with a goal in the dying moments.
He said: "I've been to the new stadium, and I don't think there'll be any problem whatsoever. It's not always I celebrate as I did against Villa - like the victory over Arsenal, last-minute victories don't come along very often. You must enjoy them." -

vs
Arsenal v Charlton Athletic
ARSENAL return to the Emirates to face relegation battlers Charlton looking to erase the disappointment of Saturday's single goal defeat at Sheffield United with the clubs' 300th victory in Premier League history. Three points would see the Gunners climbing back into fourth, at the expense of Bolton. They go into the game 18 points behind Manchester United, 11 behind Chelsea and four short of third placed Liverpool.
Arsene Wenger's side thrashed Blackburn 6-2 in their last match at the Emirates on the Saturday before Christmas. It took their undefeated run to 24 in League and Cup matches in front of the home supporters - 17 in the Premiership. The Gunners have won 10 and drawn seven at home since losing 2-3 to West Ham at Highbury on 1 February. Of those, five wins and five draws have been notched in an unbeaten 10-match League sequence at their new home.
The Gunners are hoping to extend a 10-match undefeated Premiership record against Charlton. They've won their last six, including the reverse fixture in September when a wonder strike from Robin van Persie set the foundation for a 2-1 victory. A fifth successive home maximum over the Addicks would complete a fourth Premiership 'double' over them and third in successive seasons.
Robin VAN PERSIE is Arsenal's top scorer with 10 goals - eight in the Premiership.
CHARLTON ATHLETIC have played two home games since the appointment of manager Alan Pardew. In the first they had two points stolen from them by Fulham in the dying moments, in a 2-2 draw. Then on Saturday, they snatched two points from Aston Villa in winning 2-1 with Bryan Hughes' injury time goal. If Charlton can conjure up another victory, it would see them leapfrogging West Ham in the relegation zone - just three weeks after Pardew was sacked by the Hammers. But the Addicks would have to become the first club ever to win at the Emirates, with their first away triumph of the campaign, if Pardew is to taste what would surely be an extremely sweet victory.
While Arsenal have won two, drawn one and lost two London Premiership derbies so far this season, Charlton are yet to claim a victory - drawing one, and losing five of their six capital clashes. They're also suffered the longest winless sequence away from home of any club in the highest League picking up just five points from a last possible 72 on the road since the 1-2 victory over Portsmouth at Fratton Park on 22 October 2005.
Athletic have registered only two Premiership victories over Arsenal, and just one of those on enemy territory. Goals from Steven Brown, Claus Jensen and Jason Euell and own goal from Richard Wright helped Charlton record a 2-4 triumph on 4 November 2001.
DARREN BENT is Charlton's top scorer with 10. He has netted eight in the Premiership, six more than any other club mate.

vs
Aston Villa v Chelsea
ASTON VILLA will run out hoping to follow in the footsteps of Reading and Fulham in this festive period, in taking points off title chasing Chelsea. But Martin O'Neill is going through his toughest time in the managerial position at Villa Park. The Midlanders have not won in 10 since their triumph at Everton on 11 November, and have lost the last four.
Manchester City, Bolton and Manchester United have all taken away maximum points from Villa Park in the Villans' last three home games. They've not enjoyed a victory in four on home soil, since defeating Blackburn 2-0 on Guy Fawkes Day.
Villa are aiming to extend their undefeated home Premiership sequence against Chelsea to eight games, having won two and drawn five of the last seven. They've not lost a home League game to the Blues since March 1999. Luke Moore rescued a point with a late equaliser in last season's equivalent fixture.
Gareth BARRY is Villa's top scorer, with nine goals - eight in the Premiership.
CHELSEA go to Villa Park with their sights set on closing the gap to four points between themselves and Manchester United at the summit. Playing catch-up is a new phenomenon to Jose Mourinho in two and a half years in charge at Stamford Bridge. The champions may be undefeated in 10 Premiership matches, but they've dropped four points out of six and this is clearly the greatest test yet to the managerial credentials of the Portuguese.
The champions are hoping to add the scalp of Aston Villa to those of Bolton, Everton and Wigan claimed in their last three matches on the road. They've not lost in four away League games since the 2-1 reverse at Tottenham on Guy Fawkes Day. It was only their second away defeat of this Premiership season.
The Blues are looking for a 50th competitive victory over Villa. They've already thrashed the Midlanders 4-0 in the Carling Cup this season, but were held to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in September. Gabriel Agbonlahor netted just before half time to cancel out Didier Drogba's 2nd minute opener. The Londoners are unbeaten in five Premier League contests against the Claret and Blues.
Didier DROGBA is chelsea's top scorer in the Premiership with 13 goals.
