Charlton manager Alan Pardew renews an old acquaintance with Arsene Wenger tonight at the Emirates Stadium insisting he has no problems the Arsenal boss.

Pardew will shortly appear before an FA Disciplinary Commision following a flare-up between the two while Pardew was in charge of West Ham.

"I have been accused in the past regarding my over exhuberance with my celebrations, and I'm up in court over that," said Pardew.

"I will be the touchline tonight, as usual, because I don't feel comfortable sitting in the stand.

"So far as Arsene Wenger and myself are concened, there is no problem on my side and I shall shake his hand before the game.

"I can't see there being any problem whatsover."

Pardew must decide whether to retain Saturday match-winner Bryan Hughes in tonight's starting line-up.

The match is Charlton's first at the Emirates where they will be looking for their first away win since October 22, 2005.
